Notes. The columns list the physical parameters sampled by the NEOGAL AGN narrow-line region, NEOGAL star-forming, and BPASS-based star-forming photoionization models used to infer the ‘PIM-PDFs’ (PhotoIonization Model Probability Density Functions) shown in Fig. 20 and described in Sect. 11. The sampled values for each model are listed in each of the columns. ( ⋆ )This is the effective age of the most recent episode of star formation in the NEOGAL galaxies, where the actual stellar population ages are between 0 and 10 Myr (Gutkin et al. 2016).
