Comparison between the mock SFR₁₀ (true SFR₁₀) and the SFR₁₀ recovered by CIGALE (estimated SFR₁₀) for all mock catalogs (rows) fitted with the different values of σ_run (columns). The boxes span from the first quartile (Q1 = 25%) to the third quartile (Q3 = 75%), with a line indicating the median position, while the error bars extend from the 16^th to the 84^th percentile of the cumulative distribution. The gray background in the panels highlights when σ_run match σ_mock. The SFH with the highest level of burstiness (σ_run = 0.8) provides the best estimate of SFR₁₀.
