Abstract

We constrain the slope of the star formation rate (SFR; log Ψ) to stellar mass (log M ⋆ ) relation down to log ( M ⋆ / M ☉ ) = 8.4 (log ( M ⋆ / M ☉ ) = 9.2) at z = 0.5 ( z = 2.5) with a mass-complete sample of 39,106 star-forming galaxies selected from the 3D-HST photometric catalogs, using deep pho...
