dc.description.abstract | We study the gas phase metallicity (O/H) and nitrogen abundance gradients traced by star-forming regions in a representative sample of 550 nearby galaxies in the stellar mass range 10<SUP>9</SUP>-10<SUP>11.5</SUP> M<SUB>☉</SUB> with resolved spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey. Using strong-line ratio diagnostics (R23 and O3N2 for metallicity and N2O2 for N/O) and referencing to the effective (half-light) radius (R<SUB>e</SUB>), we find that the metallicity gradient steepens with stellar mass, lying roughly flat among galaxies with log (M<SUB>⋆</SUB>/M<SUB>☉</SUB>) = 9.0 but exhibiting slopes as steep as -0.14 dex R_e^{-1} at log (M<SUB>⋆</SUB>/M<SUB>☉</SUB>) = 10.5 (using R23, but equivalent results are obtained using O3N2). At higher masses, these slopes remain typical in the outer regions of our sample (R > 1.5R<SUB>e</SUB>), but a flattening is observed in the central regions (R < 1R<SUB>e</SUB>). In the outer regions (R > 2.0R<SUB>e</SUB>), we detect a mild flattening of the metallicity gradient in stacked profiles, although with low significance. The N/O ratio gradient provides complementary constraints on the average chemical enrichment history. Unlike the oxygen abundance, the average N/O profiles do not flatten out in the central regions of massive galaxies. The metallicity and N/O profiles both depart significantly from an exponential form, suggesting a disconnect between chemical enrichment and stellar mass surface density on local scales. In the context of inside-out growth of discs, our findings suggest that central regions of massive galaxies today have evolved to an equilibrium metallicity, while the nitrogen abundance continues to increase as a consequence of delayed secondary nucleosynthetic production. | en_US |
