Comparison of D_S/D_L with metallicity (top), sSFR (middle) and stellar mass (bottom) obtained from cosmological simulations from Hou et al. (2019) and the results obtained from SED modelling for the KINGFISH (black dots) and DGS (blue asteriscs). SFRs were derived for KINGFISH galaxies using the updated FUV (GALEX) and TIR luminosities given in Dale et al. (2017), while the SFR for the DGS were taken from Rémy-Ruyer et al. (2015) who used Hα and TIR. Stellar masses for both samples were obtained using the prescription given in Eskew et al. (2012).
