Balmer attenuation vs. metallicity (left) and vs. SFR (right), colored by the median stellar mass. We show dashed lines of the average Balmer attenuation for the four low-mass (purple) and four high-mass (orange) groups. At a similar Balmer attenuation and stellar mass, we observe a wide range of SFRs and metallicities for the low-mass galaxies. At high mass, there appears to be a small trend where the Balmer attenuation decreases with increasing metallicity, and increases with increasing SFR. We conclude that the Balmer attenuation primarily depends on stellar mass for the low-mass galaxies in our sample.
