The MOSDEF Survey: Direct-Method Metallicities and ISM Conditions at $z\sim 1.5-3.5$

Abstract

We present detections of [OIII]$\lambda$4363 and direct-method metallicities for star-forming galaxies at $z=1.7-3.6$. We combine new measurements from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey with literature sources to construct a sample of 18 galaxies with direct-method metallicities at $z>1$, spanning $7.5<1$2+log(O/H$)<8.2$ and log(M${}_{\ast }$/M${}_{\odot })=7-10$. We find that strong-line calibrations based on local analogs of high-redshift galaxies reliably reproduce the metallicity of the $z>1$ sample on average. We construct the first mass-metallicity relation at $z>1$ based purely on direct-method O/H, finding a slope that is consistent with strong-line results. Direct-method O/H evolves by $\lesssim 0.1$ dex at fixed M${}_{\ast }$ and SFR from $z\sim 0-2.2$. We employ photoionization models to constrain the ionization parameter and ionizing spectrum in the high-redshift sample. Stellar models with super-solar O/Fe and binary evolution of massive stars are required to reproduce the observed strong-line ratios. We find that the $z>1$ sample falls on the $z\sim 0$ relation between ionization parameter and O/H, suggesting no evolution of this relation from $z\sim 0$ to $z\sim 2$. These results suggest that the offset of the strong-line ratios of this sample from local excitation sequences is driven primarily by a harder ionizing spectrum at fixed nebular metallicity compared to what is typical at $z\sim 0$, naturally explained by super-solar O/Fe at high redshift caused by rapid formation timescales. Given the extreme nature of our $z>1$ sample, the implications for representative $z\sim 2$ galaxy samples at $\sim 10^{10}$ M${}_{\odot }$ are unclear, but similarities to $z>6$ galaxies suggest that these conclusions can be extended to galaxies in the epoch of reionization.
