High-resolution mapping reveals nitrogen enrichment around super star clusters in NGC 5253, attributed to Wolf-Rayet stars with material expelled to surrounding gas.
New high-redshift empirical T_e-based metallicity calibrations for strong-line ratios derived from direct oxygen abundances in 46 galaxies spanning z=1.4-8.7.
New empirical calibrations between 19 emission-line ratios and oxygen abundance are derived from direct electron-temperature measurements in 139 star-forming galaxies at z=1.4-10.6.
Adding SITELLE [O II] to PHANGS-MUSE for 556 H II regions recovers known metallicity-calibration offsets, shows <0.03–0.04 dex gradient scatter for many methods, and favors [S III]/[S II] as a robust ionization tracer.
