Search for Extremely Metal-poor Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (II): high electron temperature objects

J. Sanchez Almeida, E. Perez-Montero, A. B. Morales-Luis +4

Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are defined to have gas-phase metallicity smaller than a tenth of the solar value (12 + log[O/H] < 7.69). They are uncommon, chemically and poss…

On the use of the index N2 to derive the metallicity in metal-poor galaxie

A. B. Morales-Luis, E. Perez-Montero, J. Sanchez Almeida +1

The N2 index ([N II]6584/Ha) is used to determine emission line galaxy metallicities at all redshifts, including high redshift, where galaxies tend to be metal-poor. The initial ai…
