Abstract
AbstractWe present reconstructed source plane metallicity maps for a sample of ~30 gravitationally lensed galaxies between 1.2 < z < 2.5, observed in the framework of the KLEVER Survey. Oxygen abundance is derived exploiting a variety of different emission line diagnostics, as provided by the full coverage of the near-infrared bands. The majority of galaxies in our sample present flat radial metallicity gradients, in agreement with galaxy evolution models predicting strong feedback mechanisms in place at these epochs. However, complex patterns as seen in some of our metallicity maps warn against the use of azimuthally-averaged radial gradients as the only observable to constrain chemical evolution models.
