Effect of adopting a minimum age prior on the SFR-mass relation. Green (red) show the models with declining (rising) SFHs, as in Fig. 9. Including the prior t > 50 Myr yields the magenta (dark blue) points for the declining (rising) SFHs. Note the decrease of the upper boundary of the SFR–M_⋆ relation, but less so for rising SFH than for declining ones. Black triangles stand for model B with SFR = const. The dashed line shows the SFR-mass relation at z ~ 2 for comparison.
