Applied dust extinction correction for our analysis. (Top panel) The dust extinction in rest-frame UV as a function of the observed UV absolute magnitude. The widely used Meurer et al. (1999, M99) relation was calibrated using local star-forming galaxies, whereas the Castellano et al. (2014) relation modifies the M99 relation for higher redshift galaxies. (Bottom panel) The dust extinction in the Hα line as a function of the observed Hα luminosity. The Hopkins et al. (2001) relation for local galaxies is shown with the dashed black curve, whereas the solid curves show the same relation updated for ﹩z\sim 2﹩ galaxies according to the Domínguez et al. (2013) observations. See text for full details.
