Composite, Seyfert 2, and LINER galaxies account for ∼60 per cent of all star formation in massive galaxies (M > 1010.5 M). Inclusion of these galaxies results in a ‘turnover’ in the star formation rate and stellar mass (SFR−M) relation for massive galaxies. Our analysis shows that bulge growth has already occurred in the most massive galaxies (M > 1010.5 M), and bulges continue to grow as galaxies quench and redden, (g − r) = 0.5→0.75. Significant bulge growth is also occurring in low mass starburst galaxies (M < 1010.5 M) at 0.5 dex above the ‘main sequence’ (MS), where we find an increase in B/T from 0.1→0.3 and bluer colours, (g − r) < 0.25 compared to low-mass galaxies on the MS.Funding for the SDSS and SDSS-II has been provided by the Alfred P.
