SUMMARY:Local Analogs for High-redshift Galaxies: Interstellar Medium Cond
 itions and Metallicities in High-redshift Galaxies - Fuyan Bian (ANU)

DESCRIPTION:In the last few years\, an offset between low- and high-redshi
 ft star-forming galaxies has been found in the [OIII]/Hbeta versus [NII]/H
 alpha BPT diagram. I will present a method to select high-redshift analog 
 galaxies based on the location of the BPT diagram. These local analog gala
 xies share the same region as z=2-3 galaxies in the BPT diagram and well r
 esemble the properties of z=2-3 galaxies\, including high specific SFRs  a
 nd compact sizes\, particularly\, high ionization parameters and electron 
 densities. These analogs provide a unique local laboratory to study high-r
 edshift galaxies. I will discuss how to improve our understanding of the h
 igh-redshift metallicity empirical calibrations and potential major physic
 al mechanism(s) to drive star-forming BPT locus evolution by studying thes
 e analog galaxies.
