Distribution of the LAE sample (green stars) in the star formation rate-stellar mass (SFR-M_⋆) plane. For comparison, values for 2.4 <  z <  5.5 galaxies in the 3D-HST survey public catalog by Momcheva et al. (2016) and data for z ≳ 2 star-forming galaxies from Erb et al. (2010), Patrício et al. (2016), Amorín et al. (2017), Vanzella et al. (2017), and Berg et al. (2018) (see also Sect. 5.2) are shown color-coded as labeled in the legend. The curves of the star formation sequence from Whitaker et al. (2014) at 2 <  z <  2.5, main sequence (MS) at 2 <  z <  3 from Bisigello et al. (2018), and at 3.9 <  z <  4.9 from Caputi et al. (2017) and the starburst (SB) sequence at 3.9 <  z <  4.9 from Caputi et al. (2017) are shown for reference.
