Results for comparison test B. Differences (Δ) comparing the MAGPHYS and CIGALE SED fitting results (without AGN component) for (a) SFR, (b) sSFR, and (c) stellar mass for normal galaxies. The red-filled circles represent the median log difference in each 1 dex bin of SFR between the two estimators, excluding the bins with small number statistics. Error bars reflect the standard deviation in that bin. We remark that in all half dex intervals the only difference between CIGALE and MAGPHYS is a small (on the order of 0.01 dex) offset with no particular trend, except at very low SFR, where essentially all models can yield different results based on small differences in input parameters.
