Upper panel: comparison of the star formation rate (SFR) with the stellar mass of the galaxy (M_∗) for the leaker sample (red symbols) and the control sample (blue squares). The leakers generally have higher SFRs, at a given M_∗, than the control sample. Bottom panel: the metallicity (log(O/H) + 12) versus M_∗. The leakers generally have lower metallicities than the control sample. Note that we only measure LyC upper-limits for the Leitherer et al. (2016) sample (red diamonds; see the Appendix).
