Upper panel: ratio between SFR and halo mass as a function of halo mass at various redshifts. Solid lines: results from a direct abundance matching of the LFIR and the HMF (we use dashed lines at z ≤ 0.3 where neglecting the quiescent galaxies has a significant impact, see Sect. 5). Dotted-dashed lines: results from the abundance matching between the SMF and the HMF, combined with the best-fit of the sSFR-M_⋆ relation by Karim et al. (2011). Thin-dashed and dotted lines are the limits between the normal and LIRG, and the LIRG and ULIRG regime, respectively. Lower panel: contribution of the various halo masses to the SFR density.
