摘要

We present N/O abundance ratios, ionization parameters q(ion), and oxygen abundances O/H for a total of 41 galaxies (11 individual galaxies and a 30-galaxy stack) including Ly alpha emitters and Lyman break galaxies at z similar to 2, and investigate galaxy evolution from z similar to 0 to 2 in conjunction with 208529 local galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and nine green pea galaxies (GPs). In contrast with most of the recent studies, we obtain the N/O ratio, qion, and O/H measurements by direct T-e methods using [O (III)]lambda 4363 and O (III)] lambda 1665 lines. Based on these reliable measurements, we find that there are z similar to 2 galaxies with excesses of N/O falling beyond the N/O-O/H relation of the local galaxies while the majority of the z similar to 2 galaxies have N/O ratios that are nearly comparable with those of z similar to 0 galaxies in the N/O-stellarmass relation. Our galaxies place the upper limit of the N/O ratio log(N/O) <= -1.26 on average, suggesting that the N/O ratio evolves, if at all, by <0.17 dex. Obtaining the reliable measurements free from the N/O-q(ion)-O/H degeneracies, we demonstrate, for the first time, that z similar to 2 galaxies with offsets in the Baldwin-Phillips-Terlevich (BPT) diagram show (1) only an N/O excess, (2) only a q(ion) excess, or (3) both N/O and q(ion) excesses. We argue that the BPT offsets at z similar to 2 are not made by one of the (1)-(3) galaxy populations alone, but a composite of (1)-(3) populations. We confirm that these (1)-( 3) populations also exist at z similar to 0, such as GPs and SDSS low-mass and high-SFR galaxies (LMHSs).
