In the local universe, there is good evidence that, at a given stellar mass M, the gas-phase metallicity Z is anti-correlated with the star formation rate (SFR) of the galaxies. It has also been claimed that the resulting Z(M,SFR) relation…
We present results from the NIRVANDELS survey investigating the gas-phase metallicity ($\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{gas}}$, tracing O/H) and stellar metallicity ($Z_{\star}$, tracing Fe/H) of 33 star-forming galaxies at redshifts $2.95 < z < 3.80$.…
The chemical enrichment of dust and metals are vital processes in constraining the star formation history of the universe. Previously, the dust masses of high-redshift star-forming galaxies have been determined through their far-infrared…
We show that the mass-metallicity relation observed in the local universe is due to a more general relation between stellar mass M*, gas-phase metallicity and SFR. Local galaxies define a tight surface in this 3D space, the Fundamental…
We present multi-wavelength imaging and near-IR spectroscopy for ten gravitationally lensed galaxies at 0.9<z<2.5 selected from a new, large sample of strong lens systems in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. We derive stellar masses…
Using data from the mid-infrared to millimeter wavelengths for individual galaxies and for stacked ensembles at 0.5<z<2, we derive robust estimates of dust masses (Mdust) for main sequence (MS) galaxies, which obey a tight correlation…
We present a JWST/NIRSpec-IFU study of metallicity gradients in seven low-metallicity systems at $z=7.2-9.5$. The main sample spans stellar masses of $\rm \log(M_*/M_{\odot}) \sim 7.8-9.5$, star formation rates (SFRs) of $\rm…
Aims. We present a continuation of our study about the relation between stellar mass and gas-phase metallicity in the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). In this work we extend the determination of metallicities up to redshift = 1.24 for a sample…

We investigate the evolution of galaxy gas-phase metallicity (O/H) over the range $z=0-3.3$ using samples of $\sim300$ galaxies at $z\sim2.3$ and $\sim150$ galaxies at $z\sim3.3$ from the MOSDEF survey. This analysis crucially utilizes…
We investigate the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) from z=1 to z=9 using electron-temperature-based gas-phase metallicities and examine how auroral-line selection, star-formation history, and secondary abundances affect its interpretation…
We present a measurement of the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) at cosmic noon, using the JWST near-infrared wide-field slitless spectroscopy obtained by the GLASS-JWST Early Release Science program. By combining the power of JWST and the…

We present gas-phase metallicity measurements for 583 emission line galaxies at $0.3<z<0.85$, including 388 dwarf galaxies with $log(M_{\star}/M_{\odot}) < 9.5$, and explore the dependence of the metallicity on the stellar mass and star…
Context. One of the most fundamental scaling relations in galaxies is observed between metallicity and stellar mass -- the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) -- although recently a stronger dependence of the gas-phase metallicity with the…
The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) represents one of the most important scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution, comprising a positive correlation between stellar mass and metallicity (Z). The fundamental metallicity relation…
