Dust attenuation versus stellar mass. Upper panel: Individual values of Mstar and AFUV from Buat et al. (2012) are reported with the observed FUV luminosity color coded. The mean values and the related dispersion per bin of Mstar from Buat et al. (2012) are plotted with filled squares and vertical bars. The solid line is the result of the linear regression. Lower panel: the linear regression found in the upper panel (filled squares and black lines) is compared with other relations from previous works: at z < 0 from Buat et al. (2007) (lozenges and green dot-dashed regression line) and from Garn and Best (2010) (solid thin green line), for z < 1 from Buat et al. (2009) (red dots and dashed line, average relation for (log(LFUV) = 10.2[L☉])) and at z = 2 from Sawicki (2012) (blue dotted line and triangles).
