Fig. A.1

Comparison between the SFR (top panel) and sSFR (bottom panel) derived from the SED fitting and the IR+UV method (i.e., Eq. (1)). The mean errors on the SFR and sSFR estimated are shown as shaded region in the right side of the plots. The passive galaxies and the ones in the “intermediate” region of NUVrK diagran are shown as red triangles and green circles respectively. The mean and dispersion of the relation reported in each figure do not include the passive galaxies.
