sM_dust as a function of M_* (left panel) and sSFR (right panel), compared to model predictions from the literature. Galaxies with uncertain estimates are shown with open symbols. Model estimates by Galliano et al. (2021, Ga21) are shown with blue squares; the lighter blue colour corresponds to a higher outflow rate (δ_out). The models for three spiral galaxies of different baryonic masses from Calura et al. (2009, Ca09) are plotted with green diamonds, with darker green indicating a higher assumed baryonic mass. Predictions for isolated disc galaxies by the Richings et al. (2022, Ri22) and FIRE (Choban et al. 2024, Ch24) simulations are also plotted in the left panel, with orange and yellow, respectively. In the right panel, together with the Ca09, Ga21, and Ch24 estimations, the predictions of Asano et al. (2013, As13) are also plotted with violet hexagons; lighter colours represent higher star formation timescales (τ_SF). Predictions by Ri22 for the right panel, and by As13 for the left panel, are not available in the literature. Galaxy age of the models is equal to 13 Gyr if not indicated.
