2 ΛCDM-universe metallicity of galaxies depends on their mass Extragalactic stellar astronomy metal-rich metal-medium metal-poor M81 NGC 300 WLM
3 Lequeux et al., 1979, A&A 80, 155 Extragalactic stellar astronomy the pioneering paper data from HII regions using strong line methods
4 Tremonti et al., 2004, ApJ 613, 898 Extragalactic stellar astronomy strong nebular emission lines: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen 50,000 starforming galaxies with Sloan spectra
5 mass-metallicity relationship Extragalactic stellar astronomy Rosetta stone to understand galaxy formation and chemical evolution! Tremonti et al., 2004, ApJ 613, 898
6 mass-metallicity relationship Extragalactic stellar astronomy However Something must be wrong. MW It s based on very simplified emission line analysis. SMC LMC Tremonti et al., 2004, ApJ 613, 898
7 strong line method: R 23 = f[n(o)/n(h)] simple empirical calibration but R 23 depends on T electron n electron nature of ionizing stars gas imhomog. filling factors depletion into dust.. Pagel, Edmunds, Blackwell et al. 1979
8 Extragalactic SDSS star stellar astronomy forming galaxies 0.9 dex!!! Kewley & Ellison 2008 mass metallicity relationship depends crucially on strong line method calibration supergiant stars will come to rescue!!!!
