Top panel: cumulative NCR distributions of the main sequence stars of different spectral type in the LMC at a simulated distance of 35 Mpc, illustrating the trend of increasing NCR with earlier spectral type. Bottom panel: distributions of different types of evolved stars in the LMC at the distance of 35 Mpc, similarly illustrating the dependence of NCR on stellar type and hence initial mass. In both panels, shorter-lived stars tend toward the lower right and longer-lived stars toward the upper left.
