Metallicity of host galaxies as a function of host absolute B magnitude. We have used the L − Z Tremonti et al. (2004) relation to estimate the metallicity of the (potential) host of SN 2022lxg, as well as some SNe from the P23 sample along with SN 2009Z, a Type IIb SN in a LSB galaxy. Contours show 50%, 75%, and 90% containment of the kernel density estimate of the SDSS DR2 sample presented in Tremonti et al. (2004). The metallicities where converted to the scale of PP04-O3N2 (solid line) including 1σ uncertainties (dashed lines), using the empirical calibrations of Kewley & Ellison (2008). The representative systematic error of 0.14 dex for the PP04-O3N2 scale is shown in the top left corner. We also include the SNe from the sample of Modjaz et al. (2011) in the comparison whose oxygen abundance was measured via strong-line diagnostics. The metallicity of the LSNe II hosts are consistently low compared to the sample, with the fastest events (SN 2022lxg and SN 2017hxz) having the lowest host metallicities. The top panels show a mosaic of gri coloured cutouts of the hosts of SN 2022lxg and two SNe from the P23 sample. A cyan cross denotes the position of the SN. From left to right we show: SN 2022lxg, SN 2017cfo, which is spectroscopically the most similar to SN 2022lxg, and SN 2017hxz, which is photometrically the most similar to SN 2022lxg.
