Mass–Metallicity Relationship of SDSS Star-forming Galaxies: Population Synthesis Analysis and Effects of Star Burst Length, Extinction Law, Initial Mass Function, and Star Formation Rate
We investigate the mass–metallicity relationship of star-forming galaxies by analyzing the absorption line spectra of ∼200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The galaxy spectra are stacked in bins of stellar mass, and a population synthesis technique is applied yielding the metallicities,...
