Comparison of the stellar masses of the full sample of 461 UV‐selected galaxies (red) and the 93 galaxies for which we have model SEDs and Hα spectra (blue). The mean stellar mass of the full sample is ﹩( 3.0\pm 0.5) \times 10^{10}﹩ M, while that of the Hα subsample is ﹩( 3.7\pm 0.5) \times 10^{10}﹩ M. For the purposes of this comparison we use constant star formation models for all objects, and the K magnitudes of the NIRSPEC sample have not been corrected for Hα emission.
