Distribution of our simulated galaxies in the stellar mass-SFR plane is shown by the contours. Solid black lines are the MS determinations for observed galaxies presented in Popesso et al. (2023), resulting from an extensive homogenized compilation of studies published since 2014 (their Eq. (10)). The shaded grey band visualize the typical dispersion of determinations used to get their fit. The green curves connecting the points represent the median SFR per mass bin for a sub-sample of simulated galaxies selected using the same criteria as in Popesso et al. (2023), namely 8.5 < log(Mstar/M_⊙) < 11.5 and 0.01 < SFR/( M_⊙ yr⁻¹) < 500. Bars delineate the 25–75% percentiles.
