Notes. Statistics of spectroscopic ratios across the different environments (right panel of Fig. 3) corresponding to the distributions shown in Fig. 5. The third column shows the 16th and 84th percentiles of the detected measurements (S/N ≥ 3). The fourth column lists the mean of the detected data, which is computed as the sum of the numerator data over the sum of the denominator data of the spectroscopic ratio. The fifth column shows the stacks mean over all S/N along with measurement uncertainties (in dex) in the respective environment. The measurement uncertainties are computed from the rms of the emission-free channels of the stacks (Eq. (2)) and do not include any calibration or systematic uncertainties.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
