Dust yield per SN (top) and AGB star (bottom) required to explain the dust masses in galaxies in our sample. Three forms of the initial mass function are assumed: top-heavy (red), Kroupa (green), and Salpeter (blue). The stellar mass was determined in various ways: Mdyn − Mgas (cross), Mdyn (open circle), and SED modelling (filled circle). In addition, galaxies with upper limits of dust masses are indicated by down-pointing triangles. Multiple points with the same shape and colour for a galaxy are for different dust or stellar mass estimates. Galaxies considered elsewhere (Michałowski et al. 2010a; Michałowski 2015) are shown as grey symbols. For SNe two regions have been defined: below the maximum theoretical dust yield without dust destruction of 1.3 M⊙ (yellow) and below the limit of 0.1 M⊙ including ∼90% dust destruction (vertical orange stripes). For AGB stars the theoretically allowed dust yields are indicated (light blue).
