gwIMFs, defined in Eq. (12), for the best-fit galaxies of our error function model (Eq. (21)) with masses log10(Mdyn/M⊙) = 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, …, 11.5, and 11.9 from the bottom to the top line. The galaxies with log10(Mdyn/M⊙) = 8.5, 9.5, and 11.9 are highlighted in the green, blue, and red, respectively. The galactic SFRs () of these models are given by the legend in units of M⊙/yr. The red gwIMF has an approximated α3 of about 1.2 although the top part of the IGIMF no longer preserves a power-law form.
