Histograms of the (a) redshift z, (b) extinction A(V) in the V band derived from the hydrogen Balmer decrement, (c) absolute g-band magnitude Mg corrected for the Milky Way extinction, (d) ‘observed’ absolute FUV magnitude MFUV, i.e. the absolute magnitude derived from the extrapolation of the extinction-corrected SDSS spectrum and attenuated adopting extinction A(V) obtained from the Balmer hydrogen decrement, (e) stellar mass derived from the SED fitting of the extinction-corrected SDSS spectrum, (f) oxygen abundance 12 + logO/H, (g) [O III] λ5007/[O II] λ3727 ratio denoted as O32, (h) [Ne III] λ3868/[O II] λ3727 ratio denoted as Ne3O2, (i) star-formation rate SFR derived from the extinction-corrected Hβ luminosity, (j) specific star-formation rate sSFR = SFR/(M/M), (k) – (n) equivalent widths of the [O II] λ3727, [O III] λ5007, Hβ + [O III] λ4959 + [O III] λ5007 and Hα emission lines, respectively, (o) – (q) extinction-corrected luminosities of the [O II] λ3727, [O III] λ5007 and Hαλ6563 emission lines, respectively, (r) ionising photon production efficiency derived from the extinction-corrected Hβ luminosity and extinction-corrected monochromatic luminosity at the rest-frame wavelength of 1500 Å, (s) extinction-corrected UV slope derived from the modelled rest-frame SED, (t) UV slope derived from the obscured SEDs with the extinction coefficient derived from the observed Balmer decrement adopting the Cardelli et al. (1989) reddening law with R(V) = 3.1. In all panels, histograms represented by the red and blue lines are for the total SDSS sample of CSFGs and for CSFGs with EW(Hβ) ≥ 100 Å, respectively.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
