We determine the gas-phase oxygen abundance for a sample of 695 galaxies and H II regions with reliable detections of [O III]4363, using the temperature-sensitive Te method. Our aims are to estimate the validity of empirical methods such as…
We select ~20000 metal-rich star-forming galaxies from the SDSS-DR2 to study the R23-P method suggested by Pilyugin et al. for metallicity estimates. The oxygen abundances derived from their revised R23-P method are ~0.19 dex lower than…
We show the dependence of the Bayesian and the N2-derived oxygen abundances on the N-enrichment history of the star-forming galaxies. We select 531 metal-poor and ~20,000 metal-rich galaxies from the SDSS database for this study. Their…
We have compared the oxygen and nitrogen abundances derived from global emission-line SDSS spectra of galaxies using (1) the Te method and (2) two recent strong line calibrations: the ON and NS calibrations. Using the Te method, anomously…
We compare the oxygen abundance (O/H) of the Narrow Line Regions (NLRs) of Seyfert 2 AGNs obtained through strong-line methods and from direct measurements of the electron temperature (Te-method). The aim of this study is to explore the…
