Spectroscopic confirmation of dual and offset quasars from the Subaru HSC-SSP program
Shenli Tang, John Silverman, Xavier Prochaska +4
We present a spectroscopic follow-up program targeting closely-separated dual quasar candidates selected from imaging of SDSS quasars with the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strat…
The cold circumgalactic environment of MAMMOTH-I: dynamically cold gas in the core of an Enormous Ly-alpha Nebula
Bjorn Emonts, Zheng Cai, Xavier Prochaska +2
The MAMMOTH-I Nebula at redshift 2.3 is one of the largest known Ly-alpha nebulae in the Universe, spanning ~440 kpc. Enormous Ly-alpha nebulae like MAMMOTH-I typically trace the d…
The Qz5 Survey (II): Metallicity Evolution of Damped Lyα Systems Out to z5
Marie Wisz, Marc Rafelski, Grecco Oyarzun +10
Damped Ly absorbers (DLAs) are the highest \HI\ column density (\NHI) absorption line systems detected in the spectra of background quasars. DLAs dominate the neutral gas conte…
Unique Astrophysics in the Lyman Ultraviolet
Jason Tumlinson, Alessandra Aloisi, Gerard Kriss +24
There is unique and groundbreaking science to be done with a new generation of UV spectrographs that cover wavelengths in the "Lyman Ultraviolet" (LUV; 912 - 1216 Ang). There is no…
