Extended Data Fig. 3: Histograms showing the distribution of Spergel index ν measured for subsamples of galaxies.
From: In situ spheroid formation in distant submillimetre-bright galaxies
a, ΣSFR-compact galaxies. b, ΣSFR-extended galaxies. The blue and olive curves represent the intrinsic and best-fit distributions of ν, respectively. The vertical dashed lines indicate the ν = 0 threshold above which the galaxies are classified as pure disks. The error bar in each bin corresponds to the 1σ Poisson error.
