Environmental Dependence of the Mass–Metallicity Relation in Cosmological Hydrodynamical Simulations

We investigate the environmental dependence of the gas-phase metallicity for galaxies at z = 0 to z ≳ 2 and the underlying physical mechanisms driving this dependence using state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We find that, at fixed stellar mass, central galaxies in massive halo...
