Comparison between the simulated (solid lines) and GAMA (filled circles) sample in terms of 250 μm luminosity. Left panel: νL_ν (250 μm) distribution of the two samples. Right panel: M_stars − νL_ν (250 μm) relation for the two samples split according to the classification outlined in Sect. 5 (blue for BC, green for GV, red for RS, and light green for no-RS objects). Solid lines and filled circles are median values, while the error bars and shaded regions refer to the 16 − 84th percentiles.
