Mass-metallicity Relation

The Mass-Metallicity Relation is an empirical astrophysical correlation that describes the observed trend wherein the gas-phase metallicity of a star-forming galaxy increases with its stellar mass, reflecting the interplay between star formation, chemical enrichment, and galactic-scale feedback processes.
