Carbon-to-oxygen ratio versus gas-phase oxygen abundance. The inferred chemical abundance patterns for JADES-GS-z14-0 are compared with the same three samples of star-forming galaxies at z > 3 from Figure 4. There are two measurements provided for JADES-GS-z14-0; one at low-metallicity from standard strong-line diagnostics (Section 5.4) and the other at high-metallicity from detailed photoionization modeling (Section 6). No dust corrections have been applied to any of these galaxies. With the strong-line diagnostics, the inferred abundance patterns are highly sensitive to the assumed electron temperature. We also compare with the predicted yields from core-collapse supernovae (N. Tominaga et al. 2007) as illustrated by the gray shaded region and those from galactic chemical evolution models (C. Kobayashi et al. 2020) as illustrated by the solid black line. The inferred chemical abundance pattern for JADES-GS-z14-0 is consistent with predicted yields from core-collapse supernovae for a young, low-metallicity galaxy.
