Distribution of the integrated sSFR in the form of violin plots for each merger stage. The coloured area determines the density distribution for CP in orange, PrM in green, M in red, PsM in blue, and PSB in purple. For reference, the values of the integrated properties for all MaNGA galaxies (10010 galaxies) from the Pipe3D value-added catalogue (Sánchez et al. 2016a,b) have been added (in grey). The inner box on each violin plot is a representation of the interquartile range of the median (red dot) and its 95% of its confidence intervals. We also show the outlying points of the distributions (if any) as black open circles, which represent the atypical values for that category. The number of galaxies above and below the MS in Fig. 14 is indicated above and below the violin plots, respectively, while the total number of galaxies considered in each merger stage is presented in Table 1.
