Comparison of the AMUSING sample stellar masses and SFRs computed using MAGPHYS, see Sect. 4 (in blue), with the sample from Smith et al. (2020) (in green) and the one from Sako et al. (2018) (in orange). We show as lines with shaded regions the expected relation between stellar mass and SFR (commonly referred to as the main sequence) for the population of star-forming galaxies at different redshifts (adapted from Speagle et al. 2014). We show in the upper panel the stellar mass distributions and in the right panel the SFR distributions for the three samples. We highlight the 10¹⁰ M_⊙ threshold for SNe Ia brightness corrections (see e.g. Sullivan et al. 2010) as the vertical dotted line.
