Distributions of observed and physical properties of the LAE sample described in Sect. 2.1. From panel a–j: redshift, Lyα luminosity, Lyα flux, Lyα FWHM, rest-frame Lyα EW, absolute UV magnitude, UV spectral slope, stellar mass, SFR, and sSFR. The Lyα emission shown here has not been corrected by attenuation from dust. The vertical dashed black line indicates the median value, μ_1/2 (reported in the top right), of the distributions used to select the subsamples of Sect. 3.2. The vertical dotted gray lines indicate the median absolute deviation.
