Top panel: SSFR vs. stellar mass for silver galaxies, divided into bins of distance from the relation fit to UVJ star-forming galaxies (dashed line, Eq. (1)). Bottom panel: luminosity-weighted mean stellar metallicity as a function of stellar mass for LEGA-C silver sample (grey points). The filled squares show the median stellar metallicity in bins of stellar mass (0.3 dex wide and with at least 5 galaxies), weighted by Tcor × w_spec_silver, for galaxies in different bins of distance from the MS (as illustrated in the top panel). The error bars represent the weighted 16^th and 84^th percentiles. The unweighted median trends would be very similar to those shown here, but with narrower inter-percentile ranges, in particular for the intermediate-SSFR sub-sample.
