摘要
We present results from the NIRVANDELS survey on the gas-phase metallicity (Z(g), tracing O/H) and stellar metallicity (Z(star), tracing Fe/H) of 33 star-forming galaxies at redshifts 2.95 < z < 3.80. Based on a combined analysis of deep optical and near-IR spectra, tracing the rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1200-2000 angstrom) and rest-frame optical (3400-5500 angstrom), respectively, we present the first simultaneous determination of the stellar and gas-phase mass-metallicity relationships (MZRs) at z similar or equal to 3.4. In both cases, we find that metallicity increases with increasing stellar mass (M-star) and that the power-law slope at M-star less than or similar to 10(10)M(circle dot) of both MZRs scales as Z proportional to M-*(0.3). Comparing the stellar and gas-phase MZRs, we present direct evidence for super-solar O/Fe ratios (i.e. alpha-enhancement) at z > 3, finding (O/Fe) = 2.54 +/- 0.38 x (O/Fe)(circle dot), with no clear dependence on M-star.
