cds-question@unistra.frgalaxieschemical-abundancesWe investigate the relationship between stellar mass, metallicity and gas content for a magnitude- and volume-limited sample of 260 nearby late-type galaxies in different environments, from isolated galaxies to Virgo cluster members. We derive oxygen abundance estimates using new integrated, drift scan optical spectroscopy and the base metallicity calibrations of Kewley & Ellison (2008ApJ...681.1183K). Combining these measurements with ultraviolet to near- infrared photometry and HI 21cm line observations, we examine the relations between stellar mass, metallicity, gas mass fraction and star formation rate. We find that, at fixed stellar mass, galaxies with lower gas fractions typically also possess higher oxygen abundances. We also observe a relationship between gas fraction and metal content, whereby gas-poor galaxies are typically more metal-rich, and demonstrate that the removal of gas from the outskirts of spirals may increase the observed average metallicity by ~0.1dex. Although some cluster galaxies are gas-deficient objects, statistically the stellar-mass metallicity relation is nearly invariant to the environment, in agreement with recent studies. These results indicate that internal evolutionary processes, rather than environmental effects, play a key role in shaping the stellar mass - metallicity relation. In addition, we present metallicity estimates based on observations of 478 nearby galaxies.2013A&A...550A.115Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/550/A115CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/PASP/122/261 : Herschel Reference Survey Sample (Boselli+, 2010)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/A115https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/A115http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/A115https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/A115https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/A115http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/A115GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/550/A115/table2 (Gas-phase oxygen abundance measurements based on optical spectroscopy for 478 galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A115/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A115/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A115/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true28.19041736.6186110.0055555555555555565/6928 6932 6941 6965 6979 6984-6986 7009 6/2346 2432-2433 4439 4716 4718-4719 4801 4803-4804 4806-4807 5124 5152 5164 5172 5190 5196 5198 5200 5241 5244 5247 5332 5336 5342 5440 5629 5966-5967 5975-5978 5981-5982 5999 6001 6011 6037 6082 8235 8330 8359 10377-10379 10382-10383 10400-10401 10404 10475 10592 10632 10672 10684 10845 10990 11010 11074 11435 11789 18246 25575 25581 25599 25775 25788 25790 25966 25980 25997 26055 26065 26068 26072 26088 26090 26119 26128 26139 26174-26175 26210 26214 26222-26223 26234 26260-26261 26265 26267 26271 26285 26294 26301-26303 26308-26309 26311 26316-26318 26320 26323 26331 26336 26338 26340 26343-26344 26347 26351 26354 26362-26363 26365 26377 26388 26432 26472 26528 26530 26542 27130 27606 27653-27654 27668 27716 27718-27719 27721-27725 27727 27735-27736 27738-27739 27741-27743 27745 27748 27750 27757-27759 27761 27763 27770-27774 27814 27823 27841 27853 27855 27857-27858 27869 27871 27904-27905 27907-27909 27913-27915 27922 27926 27931 27934 27948-27949 27955 28032-28033 28035 28044-28046 28054 28056 28123 28126 28162 28170 28201 28208 28213 28234 28249 28251 28254 28258 28264 28294 28299-28300 28304 28348 28404 28416 28508 28529 28643 28651 43625-43627https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/550/A115?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/550/A115/table2Gas-phase oxygen abundance measurements based on optical spectroscopy for 478 galaxiesDEJ2000Declination (J2000.0)pos.eq.dec;meta.mainCHb?
