摘要：

Making use of both MUSE observations of 85 galaxies from the survey GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE) and a large sample from MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey), we investigate the distribution of gas metallicity gradients as a function of stellar mass for local cluster and field galaxies. Overall, metallicity profiles steepen with increasing stellar mass up to 10(10.3)M(circle dot) and flatten out at higher masses. Combining the results from the metallicity profiles and the stellar mass surface density gradients, we propose that the observed steepening is a consequence of local metal enrichment due to in situ star formation during the inside-out formation of disk galaxies. The metallicity gradient-stellar mass relation is characterized by a rather large scatter, especially for 10(9.8) < M-*/M-circle dot < 10(10.5), and we demonstrate that metallicity gradients anticorrelate with the galaxy gas fraction. Focusing on the galaxy environment, at any given stellar mass, cluster galaxies have systematically flatter metallicity profiles than their field counterparts. Many subpopulations coexist in clusters: galaxies with shallower metallicity profiles appear to have fallen into their present host halo sooner and have experienced the environmental effects for a longer time than cluster galaxies with steeper metallicity profiles. Recent galaxy infallers, like galaxies currently undergoing ram pressure stripping, show metallicity gradients more similar to those of field galaxies, suggesting they have not felt the effect of the cluster yet.
