摘要：

We present the rest-frame optical spectrum of a strongly lensed galaxy at redshift z = 1.7 behind the cluster Abell 1689. We detect the temperature sensitive auroral line [O III]lambda 4363, which allows the first direct metallicity measurement for galaxies at z > 1. Our high signal-to-noise spectrum indicates that the target is an extremely low metallicity star-forming galaxy, with 12 + log(O/H) = 7.5(-0.2)(+0.1) from the direct T(e)-based method. We estimate an intrinsic absolute B-band magnitude of M(B) = -18.3 +/- 0.1, with a stellar mass of 4.4 +/- 1.2x10(8) M(circle dot). This galaxy extends the luminosity-metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies at z > 2 by more than an order of magnitude. Given the double nuclei-like morphology and the velocity profile of H alpha, we tentatively suggest that it could be a merger or a proto-rotating disk galaxy.
