The direct oxygen abundances of metal-rich galaxies derived from electron temperature
Y. C. Liang, F. Hammer, S. Y. Yin +3
We aim to derive the electron temperature Te in the gas of metal-rich star-forming galaxies, which can be obtained from their ratios of auroral lines [O II]7320,7330 to nebular lin…

Empirical strong-line oxygen abundance calibrations from galaxies with electron temperature measurements
S. Y. Yin, Y. C. Liang, F. Hammer +4
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 ai…
