Distribution of σ DHO, τ perturb, and σ ϵ as a function of rest wavelength (λ RF). The color gives the photometric band from which the best-fit parameters are obtained. The black points in the middle and bottom panels mark the median values in bins centered at the corresponding λ RF; the error bars have been made twice as large for better visibility. Top: the contours show the 85% mass for each band. σ DHO follows an overall monotonic relation with λ RF; the solid line shows the best linear fit. Middle: τ perturb increases with λ RF longward of ≈2500 Å; the solid line shows the best linear fit to the median values with λ RF > 2500 Å. Bottom: σ ϵ decreases with λ RF shortward of ≈2500 Å; the solid line shows the best linear fit to the median values with λ RF < 2500 Å.
