This is very interesting. I don't have much to add, but have some questions and maybe stimulate conversation?
Am I at least understanding it right so far? Apologies - cosmology is not my strong field, despite my presence here in this group. :) |

Here's a video about metallicity that includes the graphs and data I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKso3RakFrU Here's a "short" that basically does a montage kind of thing a measurements from 2004 to 2024: |

Background: the standard model says that "early" galaxies should be metal-poor. Alternative models need to show metallicity isn't correlated to redshift.
I made this page to show measurements of metallicity for local and "early" objects.

Update, May 10, 2024
I've been adding data and WOW, look at DESI in fuchsia!
I've also updated the tool to interactively turn on and off datasets.
The measurements I've been collecting are$12 + log_{10}(O/H)$ . I put them in a JSON file here, with their references, which is what builds the graph, table, and refs on the page:

A community project?
If anyone has other measurements to add to this, I think you can just fork my project, make a change to metallicity, and do a pull request. Maybe we can make a compelling case against the metallicity-z relationship.
