The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper claims that the spatially resolved relationship between dust attenuation and star formation rate surface density — a relation calibrated in the local universe and widely used to correct galaxy measurements — is not universal. By comparing 178 galaxies at intermediate redshift (z~0.3) from the MAGPI survey with local galaxies from MaNGA, the authors find that distant galaxies show systematically more dust obscuration at a given star formation rate density, even after matching galaxies in stellar mass and position relative to the star-forming main sequence. The excess attenuation is strongest in galaxies below the main sequence (those transitioning toward quiescence) and nearly absent in galaxies above it. This means dust attenuation on kiloparsec scales depends not just on local star formation but on the global evolutionary state of the host galaxy, and that applying local calibrations to intermediate-redshift galaxies introduces systematic biases in inferred star formation rates.

Core claim

The resolved A_V–Σ_SFR relation is not universal across redshift. At fixed star formation rate surface density, galaxies at z~0.3 are more dust-attenuated than local galaxies by ~0.28 mag on average, with the excess reaching ~0.40 mag in galaxies below the star-forming main sequence and dropping to ~0.07 mag above it. The dependence on global star-forming state implies that nebular attenuation is jointly regulated by local star formation activity and the host galaxy's evolutionary state, with the decoupling more pronounced at intermediate redshift.

What carries the argument

The Balmer decrement — the observed ratio of the Hα to Hβ hydrogen emission lines — serves as the primary diagnostic. Under Case B recombination, the intrinsic ratio is fixed at 2.86; deviations from this value measure dust reddening along the line of sight to ionised gas in star-forming regions. The paper constructs spatially resolved attenuation maps from this ratio for 178 galaxies, then compares the resulting A_V–Σ_SFR relation against the local benchmark from MaNGA, using Monte Carlo matching in stellar mass and offset from the star-forming main sequence to isolate the intrinsic difference.

Load-bearing premise

The Balmer decrement is assumed to trace the same physical dust geometry at z~0.3 as in the local universe. If intermediate-redshift observations preferentially sample more embedded or dustier star-forming regions due to surface brightness selection effects not fully captured by the paper's luminosity threshold tests, part of the observed excess could be observational rather than physical.

What would settle it

If the A_V–Σ_SFR relation at intermediate redshift were shown to match the local relation when a more complete or unbiased sample of HII regions is observed — for instance, with deeper spectroscopy recovering the faint Hβ emission from less-obscured regions that the current SNR>3 threshold misses — the observed offset would shrink or vanish, undermining the non-universality claim.

Referee Report

3 major / 8 minor

Summary. This paper uses spatially resolved Balmer-decrement measurements from the MAGPI survey (178 galaxies at 0.25 < z < 0.42) to test whether the locally calibrated resolved A_V–Sigma_SFR relation from MaNGA (Paper I) remains valid at intermediate redshift. The authors find that MAGPI spaxels exhibit systematically higher A_V at fixed Sigma_SFR than MaNGA, with an overall median offset of ~0.35 mag. After matching galaxies in stellar mass and Delta_SFMS via Monte Carlo realizations, the offset persists: strongest below the SFMS (Delta A_V ~ 0.40 mag), weaker on the SFMS (~0.28 mag), and minimal above the SFMS (~0.07 mag). Robustness tests for detection limits, PSF matching, environmental selection, and alternative SFMS parameterization are presented. The authors conclude that the resolved A_V–Sigma_SFR relation is not universal and that locally calibrated attenuation prescriptions may not adequately describe intermediate-redshift galaxies, particularly those below the SFMS.

Significance. The question of whether locally calibrated dust attenuation relations remain valid at higher redshift is important for spatially resolved studies of galaxy evolution, as systematic biases in A_V propagate directly into derived Sigma_SFR and other physical quantities. The paper's strength lies in its careful matched comparison framework: Monte Carlo matching in M* and Delta_SFMS isolates the redshift/population effect from simple population mixing, and the suite of robustness tests (detection limits, PSF matching, environment, alternative SFMS) is thorough and well-designed. The finding that the offset depends on Delta_SFMS — strongest for galaxies below the SFMS — is a novel and physically interesting result that connects resolved dust properties to global evolutionary state. The intra-MAGPI redsplit consistency check (Section 5, Fig. 7), while limited in dynamic range, adds internal corroboration. The paper is suitable for the journal's scope and will be of interest to the extragalactic IFS community.

major comments (3)
  1. The most important unaddressed systematic is the potential for differential Hβ stellar absorption correction residuals between MAGPI and MaNGA. The authors note (Section 3.1) that PPXF/GANDALF models the stellar continuum before measuring emission-line fluxes for both surveys, and Battisti et al. (2026) is cited for MAGPI-specific details. However, the paper does not directly test whether the Hβ absorption correction performs equivalently at the different SNR regimes and spectral resolutions of MUSE (z~0.3, SNR>3 for Hβ) versus MaNGA (z<0.1, reconstructed to SNR>3 but intrinsically higher quality). This matters because: (1) a 0.35 mag A_V offset corresponds to only a ~6% difference in the Balmer decrement (BD ~ 3.03 vs 2.86), which is within the plausible range of stellar absorption correction residuals at SNR~3; (2) the Delta_SFMS dependence of the offset (0.40 mag below, 0.07 mag above
  2. the SFMS) is exactly the pattern expected if Hβ absorption corrections are less accurate for older stellar populations (which dominate below the SFMS) at lower SNR — older populations have stronger Hβ absorption features, making the correction harder and residual under-correction inflating BD. The detection-limit test (Section 4.6) addresses whether different spaxels are selected but not whether the same spaxels would yield the same BD in both surveys. I recommend the authors add a direct test or quantitative discussion of this systematic. Possible approaches include: (a) injecting mock emission lines into both MAGPI- and MaNGA-like spectra with known BD and recovering A_V to quantify any survey-dependent bias; (b) comparing the distribution of Hβ equivalent widths or absorption corrections between matched MAGPI and MaNGA samples; or (c) at minimum, a quantitative discussion of why the p
  3. PPXF/GANDALF correction is expected to be equivalent across surveys despite different SNR and spectral resolution, with reference to any existing validation of this pipeline at low SNR. This is load-bearing for the central claim because if even ~0.1–0.15 mag of the offset below the SFMS is attributable to absorption correction residuals, the physical interpretation is materially affected.
minor comments (8)
  1. Section 3.1: The SNR>3 threshold for MAGPI is lower than the SNR>5 used in Paper I for MaNGA. The authors reconstruct MaNGA maps at SNR>3 for consistency, which is appropriate. However, it would be useful to briefly quantify how many spaxels/galaxies are added or lost in MaNGA when moving from SNR>5 to SNR>3, and whether the MaNGA A_V–Sigma_SFR relation changes when this threshold is shifted.
  2. Section 4.1: The Delta_SFMS bin boundaries (-0.3, +0.3) are adopted without explicit justification. A brief comment on the sensitivity of the results to these boundaries would strengthen the analysis, particularly given that the 'above SFMS' bin contains only 15% of MAGPI galaxies.
  3. Figure 2: The y-axis range is not specified in the caption. For the reader's benefit, it would help to state the A_V range shown and ensure the MaNGA error bars (red squares) are visible — they appear small in the figure.
  4. Table 1: The intercept 'b' values (4.02, 2.88, 2.18) are large because the fit is in log10(Sigma_SFR) units. A footnote or caption note clarifying the units of the fit (log10(Sigma_SFR / Msun yr^-1 kpc^-2)) would help readers interpret these values.
  5. Section 4.4: The matching tolerance of ±0.1 dex in both log M* and Delta_SFMS is reasonable, but the fraction of MAGPI galaxies that find a MaNGA match within this tolerance is not stated. Please report the match success rate.
  6. Section 5, Fig. 7: The intra-MAGPI redshift split test is a nice consistency check, but the sample sizes in each redshift bin are not given. Please state N_galaxies in each bin and note the caveat about limited statistical power more explicitly.
  7. The paper uses both 'A_V' and 'AV' (without subscript) in different places (e.g., abstract vs. equations). Standardizing notation throughout would improve readability.
  8. Reference list: Battisti et al. (2026) is cited for MAGPI emission-line products but appears to be 'submitted' — please update with final reference details if available by the time of revision.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity: the central claim is an empirical cross-survey measurement, not a derivation that reduces to its inputs by construction.

full rationale

The paper's central claim is that MAGPI galaxies at z~0.3 show systematically higher A_V at fixed Sigma_SFR than local MaNGA galaxies, with the offset depending on Delta_SFMS. This is an empirical measurement comparing two independent datasets (MAGPI and MaNGA), not a theoretical derivation. The A_V values are computed from observed Balmer decrements (Halpha/Hbeta), and Sigma_SFR from dust-corrected Halpha luminosities — these are independently measured quantities, not defined in terms of each other. The linear fit (Eq. 1, A_V = a*log10(Sigma_SFR) + b) is descriptive, not predictive: the coefficients in Table 1 summarize the observed relation rather than deriving it from a prior principle. The self-citation to Paper I (Mailvaganam et al. 2026) provides the local MaNGA benchmark and methodology, but the result does not reduce to this citation — the MAGPI data are independently observed and analyzed. The Delta_SFMS is computed from an external SFMS relation (Renzini & Peng 2015), not self-defined. The matched comparison (Section 4.4) uses Monte Carlo matching in M* and Delta_SFMS, but the A_V offset is measured, not constructed. The robustness tests (detection limits, PSF matching, environment) are genuine checks against external data, not circular validations. No step in the derivation chain reduces to its inputs by definition or by a self-citation that is itself unverified. The one minor self-citation (Paper I for the MaNGA comparison sample and methodology) is not load-bearing for the central claim, which stands on the independent MAGPI measurements.

We study the spatially resolved relation between dust attenuation ($A_V$) and star formation rate surface density ($\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$) in galaxies from the MAGPI survey ($0.25 < z < 0.42$). Using Balmer-decrement-based attenuation maps for 178 galaxies, we investigate whether the locally calibrated resolved $A_V$--$\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$ relation remains valid at intermediate redshift by comparing MAGPI with the local relation measured from MaNGA. We find a clear positive correlation between $A_V$ and $\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$ in MAGPI, with systematically higher attenuation than in MaNGA at fixed $\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$. After matching galaxies in stellar mass ($M_{*}$) and offset from the star-forming main sequence ($\Delta$SFMS), MAGPI galaxies remain more attenuated than MaNGA galaxies at fixed $\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$. The attenuation excess is strongest for galaxies below the SFMS ($\Delta A_V \sim 0.40$ mag), weaker for galaxies on the SFMS ($\Delta A_V \sim 0.28$ mag), and minimal for galaxies above the SFMS ($\Delta A_V \sim 0.07$ mag). The dependence of the offset on $\Delta$SFMS suggests that nebular attenuation on kpc scales is regulated not only by local star formation activity, but also by the global evolutionary state of the host galaxy. Together, these results indicate that the resolved $A_V$--$\Sigma_{\mathrm{SFR}}$ relation is not universal, and that locally calibrated attenuation relations may not fully describe galaxies at intermediate redshift. This highlights the need for attenuation calibrations that account for galaxy population and redshift when interpreting spatially resolved galaxy properties.
