cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiescatalogsstellar-evolutionary-modelsredshiftedWe develop a theoretical framework that extracts a deeper understanding of galaxy formation from empirically derived relations among galaxy properties by extending the main-sequence integration method for computing galaxy star formation histories. We properly account for scatter in the stellar mass-star formation rate relation and the evolving fraction of passive systems and find that the latter effect is almost solely responsible for the age distributions among z~0 galaxies with stellar masses above ~10^10^ M_{sun}_. However, while we qualitatively agree with the observed median stellar metallicity as a function of stellar mass, we attribute our inability to reproduce the distribution in detail largely to a combination of imperfect gas-phase metallicity and {alpha}/Fe ratio calibrations. Our formalism will benefit from new observational constraints and, in turn, improve interpretations of future data by providing self-consistent star formation histories for population synthesis modelling.2015MNRAS.448.1430Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/448/1430CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/A+A/288/713 : Star formation in galaxies (Firmani+ 1994)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/448/1430https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/448/1430http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/448/1430https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/448/1430https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/448/1430http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/448/1430GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapOpticaldefaultJ/MNRAS/448/1430/modelsList of modelsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
