Far-infrared metallicity diagnostics: application to local ultraluminous infrared galaxies

<p>The abundance of metals in galaxies is a key parameter that permits to distinguish between different galaxy formation and evolution models. Most of the metallicity determinations are based on optical line ratios. However, the optical spectral range is subject to dust extinction and, for hig...
