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…

Low Redshift Lyman Alpha absorbers and their Connection with Galaxies
Simon L. Morris, Buell Jannuzi, Ray Weymann
We review the ongoing debate about the relationship between low redshift Lyman Alpha absorbers and luminous galaxies. In particular, we discuss the difficulty of `assigning' a part…
