Notes. Fractions are sorted in descending order to highlight the dominant excitation types. Classifications are sorted by decreasing SFG prevalence along the mass bins, based only on highlighted dominant types. The ‘Total’ column represents all stellar mass bins. Galaxy counts within parentheses.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
