Distribution in the M_⋆ − z plane of the DP/MaNGA (colour-coded stars on left panel), CS1 (coloured dots on middle panel) and CS2 (coloured circles in right panel) galaxies. These three samples are respectively superimposed on the DPS distribution, the CS from Maschmann et al. (2020), and the whole MaNGA sample from DR17 (Bundy et al. 2015; Abdurro’uf et al. 2022). The bimodality of the MaNGA sample distribution is due to the survey design criteria. The colour coding refers to the NUV − r colour: ⋆blue cloud galaxies, ⋆green valley galaxies; ⋆ red sequence galaxies; ⋆ no NUV − r measurement available.
