Abstract
The relation between the star-formation Rate and stellar mass (M-) of galaxies represents a fundamental constraint on galaxy formation, and has been studied extensively both in observations and cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. However, the observed amplitude of the star-formation rate-stellar mass relation has not been successfully reproduced in simulations, indicating either that the halo accretion history and baryonic physics are poorly understood/modelled or that observations contain biases. In this paper, we examine the evolution of the SFR-M- relation of z - 1-4 galaxies and display the inconsistency between observed relations that are obtained using different techniques. We emplo..
