Normalized distributions of stellar mass as log(M_★/M_⊙), stellar velocity dispersion (σ_★), and effective radius (R_e, ★) for observed and simulated galaxies at the three distinctive redshift bins in this study: z = 0.0, z = 0.3, and z = 0.7. Observed data are shown in open histograms and simulated data in grey filled ones. The observational stellar velocity dispersion at z = 0.7 is omitted due to the lack of available measurements in the VIPERS dataset.
