説明

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p>We use ∼83,000 star-forming galaxies at 0.04 < <jats:italic>z</jats:italic> < 0.3 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to study the so-called fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) and report on the disappearance of its anti-correlation between metallicity and star formation rate (SFR) when using the new metallicity indicator recently proposed by Dopita et al. In this calibration, metallicity is primarily sensitive to the emission line ratio [N <jats:sc>ii</jats:sc>]<jats:italic>λ</jats:italic>6584/[S <jats:sc>ii</jats:sc>]<jats:italic>λλ</jats:italic> 6717, 6731 that is insensitive to dilution by pristine infalling gas that may drive the FMR anti-correlation with SFR. Therefore, we conclude that the apparent disappearance of the FMR (using this new metallicity indicator) does not rule out its existence.</jats:p>
