摘要:

利用我们的光谱合成程序STARLIGHT估算的恒星金属丰度,我们获得了斯隆数字巡天中同一组星系在不同回视时间的质量-金属丰度(M-Z)关系。我们已经发现,这种关系陡峭和跨越更广泛的范围内的质量和金属丰度在较高的红移。我们模拟了恒星金属丰度的时间演化与一个封闭的盒子化学演化模型,为不同类型和质量的星系。我们的结果表明,对于现今恒星质量小于10^10 M_sun的星系,M-Z关系主要是由恒星形成历史驱动的,而不是由流入或流出驱动的。

英文摘要:

We have obtained the mass-metallicity (M-Z) relation at different lookback times for the same set of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, using the stellar metallicities estimated with our spectral synthesis code STARLIGHT. We have found that this relation steepens and spans a wider range in both mass and metallicity at higher redshifts. We have modeled the time evolution of stellar metallicity with a closed-box chemical evolution model, for galaxies of different types and masses. Our results suggest that the M-Z relation for galaxies with present-day stellar masses down to 10^10 M_sun is mainly driven by the history of star formation history and not by inflows or outflows.
