The slope and scatter of the star forming main sequence at z~5 : reconciling observations with simulations
Using JWST NIRCam grism spectroscopy of 316 H-selected galaxies behind the Abell 2744 cluster, this study reveals that the star-forming main sequence at has a significantly shallower slope and potentially mass-dependent scatter than predicted by simulations, suggesting potential issues with SFR calibrations, the presence of quenched low-mass galaxies, or underestimated dust attenuation.
