Distributions of M_star for the MAGMA sample; the right panels illustrate the subdivisions in M_star for the parent surveys. The red vertical dashed line in the left panel corresponds to the median M_star for MAGMA, log(M_star/M_⊙) = 9.68. Also shown in the left panel is the SDSS10 sample, taken from Mannucci et al. (2010), consisting of 78579 galaxies. Here, it has been renormalized to show the M_star distribution it would have if it contained the same number of galaxies (390) as MAGMA; the M_star median of SDSS10 (shown as a blue vertical dashed line) is log(M_star/M_⊙) = 10.28.
