Radial Metallicity Gradients in Star-Forming Galaxies
Abstract
Radial metallicity gradients of star-forming galaxies have been successfully used to set important constraints on galaxy formation and chemical evolution. This paper focuses on the implications of radial metallicity gradients measured with different probes for a variety of galaxies, and on the foreseen advances in this field in the 2020s.
