Comparison of different SFR estimates. Left: difference between the SFR calculations of X-CIGALE for star-forming galaxies defined from our galaxy sample (see text for more details) and the SFR measurements using the expression of Schreiber et al. for star-forming MS galaxies. At z < 1.5 the SFR values from X-CIGALE are ∼0.25 dex lower than those using Schreiber et al., whereas at higher redshift the two estimates are consistent. Right: difference between the SFR calculations of X-CIGALE for star-forming galaxies defined from our galaxy sample (see text for more details) and the SFR measurements using the expression of Whitaker et al. (2014) for star-forming MS galaxies. At z < 1.0 the SFR values from X-CIGALE are similar (distribution peaks at zero) to those using the Whitaker et al. formula, whereas at 1 < z < 2, SFR_X-CIGALE are lower by ∼0.15 dex (see also Table 3).
