Diagram of SFR-M_mol from the iEDGE in different representations. Symbols and conventions follow Fig. 8. The black solid line across the panel shows the locus where τ_dep = 2 Gyr. Additionally, dotted lines show constant τ_dep from (top to bottom) 10⁻⁵ Gyr to 10⁶ Gyr. When moving from quenching stages dominated by star formation to the ones dominated by retired regions, the steepness and scatter of the SFR-M_mol increases.
