Abstract

AbstractThe stellar mass-metallicity relations of star-forming galaxies at intermediate-z (0.4<z<1) and high-z (z≥2) are compared with the local SDSS galaxies. It shows obvious evolutionary effect, i.e., at a given stellar mass, the intermediate-z galaxies show about 0.3 dex lower metallicity, and the high-z galaxies show about 0.56 dex more metal-deficient than the local ones. These distant galaxies will produce these important parts of their metals during the consequent evolutionary process. A close-box model can explain this evolutionary process generally.
