Reliability of our sAM estimator. Left: bottom panel: total SFR-weighted sAM, (in km s−1 kpc), as a function of the true angular momentum (SFR-weighted) for the 790 mock galaxies. Top panel: relative error (
as a function of the effective S/N (see text) along with the histogram of
. The points are colored according to the stellar mass in both panels. The red circles represent the median
whose errorbar represent 1σ. Right: relative error (
for each mass bin of 1 dex centered on log M⋆ = 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, from top to bottom. The histograms are weighted by the errors. Left (right) panels: distributions of
, in three mass bins, resulting from the 3D method (the Eq. (3) approximation), respectively. The red solid line represents the continuous density estimation of the distributions using a Gaussian kernel with bandwidth of ∼0.2. This shows that, for massive galaxies (M⋆ > 1010 M⊙), the Eq. (3) approximation is less biased, while for galaxies with M⋆ < 1010 M⊙, the 3D method is less biased.
