Specific star formation rate (﹩\mathrm{sSFR}\equiv \mathrm{SFR}/{M}_{\star }﹩) versus redshift distribution of our galaxies (see Table 1) normalized by the star-forming MS SFR at each redshift. The ﹩Y=0﹩ dashed line means exactly on the Speagle et al. (2014) MS. Data points are the same in the left and right panels, except that the redshift axis is logarithmic in the left panel to better illustrate the complementary samples (with A3COSMOS data points in gray) and is linear in the right panel to illustrate our A3COSMOS sample (with all complementary samples shown in gray).
