Star formation history in low-mass galaxies with σ < 100 km s−1 in Illustris. Colors and lines have the same meanings as Figure 3. Similar to the massive galaxies in Illustris, for low-mass galaxies, the hosts of overmassive SMBHs have also formed earlier and have had suppressed star formation for longer than the hosts of undermassive SMBHs. This is different from Martín-Navarro & Mezcua (2018), who find no such correlation for low-mass galaxies in the observed sample.
