An Indication of Gas Inflow in Clumpy Star-forming Galaxies near z ∼ 1: Lower Gas-phase Metallicities in Clumpy Galaxies Compared to Nonclumpy Galaxies

Despite the ubiquity of clumpy star-forming galaxies at high-redshift, the origin of clumps are still largely unconstrained due to the limited observations that can validate the mechanisms for clump formation. We postulate that if clumps form due to the accretion of metal-poor gas that leads to viol...
