Comparing our M_* results to B03. Left: ratio of M_* to light versus the colour relation from B03. The orange line shows Eq. (1) and the brown line shows Eq. (2) from B03. Our best fit is shown in green. Right: ratio of M_* to light versus colour relation from T11. The orange line shows M_* -colour relation from T11. Our best fit is shown in green. The typical error is shown in the bottom right corner of each panel. The merging galaxies are colour-coded according to their morphology as indicated in the legend.
