Location of LBAs on the SFR-M_∗ plane. Diamonds correspond to the sample of Overzier et al. (2009). Orange diamonds represent the subsample presented in this work. SFRs and stellar masses are from Overzier et al. (2009). SFRs are calculated from Hα + 24 μm flux assuming a Kroupa IMF. The sample of ULIRGs (red) and LIRGs (yellow) is taken from U et al. (2012). The overplotted lines are the relationships followed by star-forming galaxies at different redshifts presented in Whitaker et al. (2012), who use a similar derivation for the SFR. The position of the typical local starburst galaxy M 82 is also shown for reference.
