(Left) Specific SFR vs. stellar mass diagram for the ASPECS CO sources, compared to z > 1 PHIBSS1/2 CO sources (Tacconi et al. 2013, 2018). (Right) Specific SFR (normalized by the value of the sSFR expected for the MS, which is a function of the redshift and stellar mass) vs. stellar mass diagram for the ASPECS CO sources, compared to z > 1 PHIBSS1/2 CO sources. In both panels, the PHIBSS1/2 galaxies are represented by the blue contours. In the left panel, the solid lines represent the observational relationships between SFR (or sSFR) and stellar mass at different redshifts derived by Schreiber et al. (2015). These redshifts are denoted in different colors as shown by the color bar to the right. In the right panel, the dotted line represents the location of the MS, while the dashed lines represent the location of sources at +0.4 and −0.4 dex from the MS. Two of the ASPECS CO-selected galaxies lie >0.4 dex below the MS at their respective redshifts (3 mm.2 and 3 mm.10).
