Fig. 15

Upper panel: dust-to-gas mass ratios against
metallicity for Virgo SFDs. Here we plot the oxygen abundance obtained from N2 e
O3N2 indices for the whole sample. Solid line indicates a linear scaling of the
Milky Way
and metallicity, dotted and dashed lines correspond to a factor of 5 and 10
difference from MW, respectively. Lower panel: comparison data for
KINGFISH and DGS samples. Here the metallicity of Virgo SFDs was derived using the
R23 ratio only for 13 objects with
[OII]λ3727 line measurements available in the
literature. A broken power-law fit (orange line) with a break at [12 +
log (O/H) ] break =
8.36 and low-metallicity slope α = 2.23, is overlaid
to the data. The dotted line shows the linear scaling of the dust-to-gas ratio of
the Milky Way with metallicity.
