Description
We present a study of the metallicity of 20268 galaxies from the Sloan
Digital Sky Survey—Data Release 6 (SDSS-DR6)—using the R
23 method, and derive analytical calibrations from several
metallicity-sensitive line ratios: [Nii] λ6583/Hα, [Oiii]
λ5007/[Nii] λ6583, [Nii] λ6583/[Oii] λ3727,
[Nii] λ6583/ [Sii] λλ6717, 6731, [Sii]
λλ6717, 6731/Hα, and [Oiii] λλ4959,
5007/Hβ. We have performed the study for the resdshift interval
(0.04-0.1) for all the Sloan survey release. This is the first part of a
more complete work which aims to study the metallicity dependences of
the star-forming galaxies in the Local Universe.
