Verifying the mass-metallicity relation in damped Lyman-alpha selected galaxies at 0.1<z<3.2

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

A scaling relation has recently been suggested to combine the galaxy mass-metallicity (MZ) relation with metallicities of damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) in quasar spectra. Based on this relation the stellar masses of the absorbing galaxies can be predicted. We test this prediction by measuring the stellar masses of 12 galaxies in confirmed DLA absorber - galaxy pairs in the redshift range 0.1z
