Limits on the star formation rates of z>2 damped Ly-alpha systems from H-alpha spectroscopy

Andrew J. Bunker, Stephen J. Warren, D. L. Clements +2

We present the results of a long-slit K-band spectroscopic search with CGS4 on UKIRT for H-alpha emission from the objects responsible for high-redshift (z > 2) damped Ly-alpha abs…
