HST/STIS Spectroscopy of 3C 273
S. R. Heap, G. M. Williger, R. Dave +3
We present preliminary results on the low-redshift Lyman alpha forest as based on STIS spectra of 3C 273. A total of 121 intergalactic Lyman alpha-absorbing systems were detected,…

The Metallicity of the Local IGM from the HST/STIS Spectrum of 3C273
Romeel Davé, S. R. Heap, G. M. Williger +3
We present a preliminary study of the metallicity of low-redshift Lyman alpha absorbers from the HST/STIS spectrum of 3C273. Using a pixel-based shift-and-coadd technique, we compa…
