Differences in the global stellar properties for the four different SFH models with respect to the ground truth global values from the TNG50 simulation. From left to right: M_★, sSFR, and t_★,  mw. The properties were derived through SED fitting under four different configurations: spatially resolved fitting with a nonparametric SFH_res,  np (orange), spatially resolved SED fitting with a simple τ-model SFH_res,  τ (pink), global fitting with a nonparametric SFH_{glob,  np} (yellow), and a global fitting with a simple τ-model SFH_{glob,  τ} (blue). Typical uncertainties for each configuration are shown in the bottom-left corner of each panel. Star-forming galaxies are indicated with stars, while quiescent galaxies with points. The bottom panels show the residual distributions of each stellar property. The measured bias (average offset) and scatter (standard deviation) are indicated in the legends of the panels. The properties inferred from the spatially resolved and integrated nonparametric SFHs are in best agreement with the ground truth values.
