Notes. Classes from top to bottom: “main sequence”, “quenched”, “rejuvenating” and “caught”. References from left to right: Pearson et al. (2018), Speagle et al. (2014), Leslie et al. (2020), Popesso et al. (2023). The active-quiescent limits applied in the work by Franx et al. (2008), Carnall et al. (2020) were also used for comparison with an approach different from the SFMS. Caught-type galaxies were manually identified, which was only done for the first two references listed. Subclasses of quenched and rejuvenating galaxies are listed in the four lower rows with “quenched early” (i.e., at z > 1), “quenched late” (i.e., at z < 1), “rejuvenating quenched” and “rejuvenating main sequence” galaxies. Note that the total number of galaxies varies due to the sample selection criteria as discussed in Section 2.
