Main sequence, SFR versus stellar mass, USMgII absorber host galaxies. The dashed-blue and solid-red lines depict the best linear fit for main sequence galaxies at 0.5 ≤ z < 1 and 1 ≤ z < 2, respectively while the solid-green line represents the sequence for starburst galaxies from Bisigello et al. (2018). The symbols are color-coded with the redshift. The shaded and hatched regions indicate the 1σ confidence interval. Additionally, the dotted-line represents the SFR threshold for wind launching from Murray et al. (2011). Top panel: SFR of USMgII galaxies normalized by the main sequence star-forming galaxy at respective redshift.
