Notes. Comparisons of our w0 with those in previous studies. For fair comparisons, we apply to our LAEs similar selection cuts adopted in previous studies. (1) Reference study; (2) typical redshift in the reference study; (3) lower limit of MUV in the reference study; (4) lower limit of LLyα in the reference study; (5) w0 values in the reference study; and (6) w0 values in our LAEs with similar selection cuts of (3) and (4).

(a)

The value without parentheses is the scale factor obtained from a direct fitting to the distribution, while the value with parentheses indicates w0 derived from simulations in Zheng et al. (2014).

(b)

Since the scale factors are not listed in Kashikawa et al. (2011), we take the values from Zheng et al. (2014) who fitted the EW0 distribution of LAEs in Kashikawa et al. (2011).
