Most probable values of the mean SFR for the age bin obtained from the posterior PDF. The vertical error bars indicate the 0.16 and 0.84 quantiles of the posterior PDF. The horizontal error bars indicate the size of the age bin. The grey and black dashed lines are, respectively, an exponential function and a distribution formed by a bounded exponential plus a Gaussian, fitted to the G12NP-S results. The grey solid line is the exponential part of this exponential plus Gaussian fit. See Table 2 for details of the SFH and extinction maps used.
