Stellar mass vs. SFR distribution of ALPINE sources as selected prior to ALMA observations, colored by expected [CII] line peak flux estimated from Capak et al. (2015). M_star and SFR were obtained from SED fitting of the multi-wavelength photometry available at the start of this program (see Faisst et al. 2019 for more details). The cross represents the average 1σ uncertainty. The large proposed sample aims to quantify average trends over a large range of galaxy properties. Those galaxies detected at > 3σ in [CII] are identified with crosses. ALPINE provides [CII] emission line measurements at > 3.5σ for 63% of these galaxies (see text).
