Date: May 14 Speaker: John Moustakas Title: Ten Billion Years of Chemical Evolution in Star-Forming Galaxies Abstract: Local star-forming galaxies obey a striking correlation between stellar mass and metallicity spanning five orders of magnitude in mass and a factor of 300 in metallicity. The gas-phase metallicity of a galaxy reflects its integrated star formation history, modulo inflows and outflows of gas and metals; therefore, the mass-metallicity relation, and its evolution with redshift, serves as a powerful metric of galaxy evolution. I will present measurements of the mass- and luminosity-metallicity relations at 01. Finally, I will compare these results to observations of star-forming galaxies at z=1-2, and discuss the challenges of applying locally calibrated abundance diagnostics to high-redshift galaxies.
