Evolution with redshift of MW-sisters progenitors onto the main sequence. The four panels are dedicated to four different redshift from z = 0. in the top left to z = 3.0 in the bottom right. The grey scale shows the population of all star-forming (SFR> 0) galaxies extracted from our best model m₃, the blue solid line is the mean trend found for these galaxies, and the two blue dashed lines show the first and third quartile of the distribution. Circles are MW-sisters galaxies or their progenitors. The oxygen to hydrogen relative abundance in the disk’s gas phase is colour-coded. The grey dashed line represents the main sequence measured by Peng et al. (2010) in the SDSS survey. The dark dashed line is the main sequence of Béthermin et al. (2012) for z> = 1.
