Scientific paper

We consider the roles of two widely invoked mechanisms for the metallicity-luminosity correlation among late-type galaxies: higher astration level and decreasing efficiency of heavy-element loss with increasing luminosity. We find that both mechanisms contribute about equally to the range in oxygen abundance between low (log{LB} ˜ 8) and high (log{LB} ˜ 10.5) luminosity galaxies.
