Star-forming z~2.1 galaxy metallicities

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We explore the evolution of the Stellar Mass-Star Formation Rate (SFR)-Metallicity relation using a set of 256 COSMOS and GOODS galaxies in the redshift range 1.90<z<2.35.

Description

We present the galaxies' rest-frame optical emission-line fluxes derived from IR-grism spectroscopy with the Hubble Space Telescope and combine these data with SFRs and stellar masses obtained from deep, multi-wavelength (rest-frame UV to IR) photometry.

We then compare these measurements to those for a local sample of galaxies carefully matched in stellar mass (7.5<~log(M_{star}_/M_{sun}_<~10.5) and SFR (-0.5<~log(SFR)<~2.5 in M_{sun}_/yr). We find that the distribution of z~2.1 galaxies in stellar mass-SFR-metallicity space is clearly different from that derived for our sample of similarly bright (L_H{beta}_>3x10^40^erg/s) local galaxies, and this offset cannot be explained by simple systematic offsets in the derived quantities.

At stellar masses above ~10^9^M_{sun}_ and SFRs above ~10M_{sun}_/yr, the z~2.1 galaxies have higher oxygen abundances than their local counterparts, while the opposite is true for lower-mass, lower-SFR systems.
