Metallicity and nuclear star formation in nearby galaxy pairs: evidence for tidally induced gas flows

LJ Kewley, MJ Geller, EJ Barton - The Astronomical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive the first luminosity-metallicity (LZ) relation for a large objectively selected sample
of local galaxy pairs, and we compare the LZ relation of the pairs with the relation for the …
