Star formation histories modeled in this work.

ID SF history Functional form Parameters Color

A = DEC exp. declining SFR  ∝ expt/τ t, τ green
B = REF constant SFR = const. t ≥ 50 Myr black
C = RIS rising Finlator+2011 t blue
D exp. rising SFR  ∝ exp+t/τ t, τ red
E delayed SFR  ∝ texp − t/τ t, τ yellow

Notes. All describe the evolution of the SFR with time (age t, defined as the time since the onset of star formation). Three of them have one additional free parameter, the SF timescale τ. For model B a minimum age of 50 Myr is assumed, for comparison with other studies. Models A, B, and C are the same as in dBSS12. The color code used in the figures is indicated in the last column.
