Left: dust formation rate diagram: sMdust vs. sSFR in the Hi-z LBGs (red data points). Only models with a delayed star formation history are plotted. Consistently, a delayed star formation history only was used in the SED fitting with CIGALE to estimate sMdust and sSFR. The models shown do not have any grain growth in the ISM. We select the best models (shown in blue) by computing the χ2 of the models with respect to sMdust, sSFR, and age, and finally use the combined total χ2 as quality of the fit to select the best models. We also plot the other models in light grey to plot which parameter space the models cover. Right: specific dust mass vs. age of the dominant stellar population. Models with a larger condensation fraction provide better fits, on average. The Hi-z LBGs are young galaxies. The steep decline of sMdust for Hi-z LBGs with respect to Low-zZ galaxies suggest a fast removal (destruction + outflow) of grains in about 0.5 Gyr for Hi-z LBGs that can explain the various detectability of these Hi-z LBGs. Colours have the same meaning as in the left panel.
