Need to establish relations atvarious redshifts =>Chemical evolution of galaxies/MW
Even at a fixed stellar mass,There is a significant scatter around the relation=> Physical origin is unknown yet

Why M-Z relation at z~1.4?
Hopkins & Beacom , 2006, ApJ 651, 204
What is the M-Z relation close to/just after the peak epoch of cosmic SF history? => a major step in chemical evolution?
How’s the scatter? => larger scatter in higher redshifts?
What is the origin of the scatter? => key parameter to understand the evoliution of M-Z relation (&chemical evolution of galaxies)
Cosmic SF history
We need a large sample of SF galaxies at z=1-2!

• MZ relation locates between z~0.1 (Tremonti+) and z~2 (Erb+) (after correcting for the metallicity calibration & stellar mass (IMF))• Agree with recent simulation Galaxy mass dependent outflow model (vzw)

Scatter of the MZ relation• Try to constrain the scatter• Deviation from the MZ relation (after removing the obs error)• Smaller in massive side• Comparable to z~0.1• But strictly speaking they are lower limits=> Larger scatter at z~1.4

What makes the scatter?2nd parameter problem at high-z
SFR dependence? SFR>85 Msun/yr 85 >SFR>53 Msun/yr 53 > SFR Msun/yrSFR – stellar mass relation!
At a fixed mass binRelative SFR dependence!★ higher SFR
☆ lower SFR
Higher SFR => lower metallicity 13
SFR from Hα

• Same trend

Similar trend at z~0.1
• From SDSS galaxies• SFR-mass relation• At a fixed mass, larger SF
comes lower part

Another 2nd parameter: size?

Summary• With FMOS/Subaru• Establishing M-Z relation of SF galaxies at z~1.4• Smooth evolution from z~3 to ~0 w/o changing shape of M-Z so much
• Larger scatter at higher redshift?• Larger SFR => lower metallicity?• Larger size => lower metallicity?
• More data are necessary to be definitive• Test for sample selection is also important• Further studies with a larger sample are desirable!!

A possible physical cause for the trend
• Infall of pristine gas / merge of a metal poor galaxy• dilutes the gas to lower metallicity,• activates SF, • expands/enlarges galaxy size
• Really?
