Stellar mass is not the best predictor of galaxy metallicity. The gravitational potential-metallicity relation ΦZR
Context. Interpreting the scaling relations followed by galaxies is a fundamental tool for assessing how well we understand galaxy formation and evolution. Several scaling relations involving the galaxy metallicity have been discovered through the years, the foremost of which is the scaling with stellar mass. This so-called mass-metallicity
