SFR-M_* relation defined for the final sample of 18 barred galaxies with two different SFR indicators: MPA-JHU Value Added Catalogue and GSWLC M2 catalogue. (a) SFR-M_* relation for MPA-JHU VAC (Brinchmann et al. 2004) (green contours) with red line representing SFMS−1.1 dex adopted from Bluck et al. (2020). Our sample galaxies are quenched based on MPA-JHU SFR estimates. (b) SFR-M_* relation for GSWLC catalogue (Salim et al. 2018) (blue contours) with red line representing SFMS−0.6 dex taken from Guo et al. (2018). Our sample galaxies are unquenched based on GSWLC SFR estimates indicating these are non-passive systems. The discrepancy is due to the estimation of SFR using different techniques adopted for both catalogues as described in Sect. 2.
