Distribution of the properties of the REBELS galaxies (filled yellow histogram) compared to the ALPINE galaxies (empty blue histogram). From left to right, we show the distribution of redshift, stellar mass, SFR (UV+IR), and [C II]-based molecular gas masses. Stellar masses are derived from nonparametric SED fitting as described in the text (Topping et al. 2022). The histogram for the ALPINE sample was normalized to the maximum number of REBELS galaxies. No comparison of the redshift distributions is provided because the samples cover different redshift ranges by construction.
