Abstract

By compiling abundances from red and blue supergiants (SGs) within the Local Universe, I present the Mass-Metallicity relation (MZR) using stellar tracers, demonstrating the excellent internal consistency. Comparing this result with nebular tracers, those empirically calibrated to direct-method studies provide the most consistent results.
