The ultraviolet and optical spectra of luminous B-type stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
C. J. Evans, D. J. Lennon, N. R. Walborn +2
We present ultraviolet spectra from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of 12 early B-type stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), comprising 9 supergiants and 3 gia…
Spectral Modelling of Star-Forming Regions in the Ultraviolet: Stellar Metallicity Diagnostics for High Redshift Galaxies
Samantha A. Rix, Max Pettini, Claus Leitherer +3
The chemical composition of high redshift galaxies is an important property which gives clues to their past history and future evolution and yet is difficult to measure with curren…
The Number Density of 0.6 < z < 1.7 MgII Systems from CORALS: Observational Biases at Intermediate Redshift
Sara L. Ellison, Chris W. Churchill, Samantha A. Rix +1
The goal of the Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey is to quantify the potential impact on QSO absorber statistics from dust in intervening galaxies.…
The CORALS Survey: A Review and Progress Report on The Search for Dust Obscured Quasar Absorption Line Systems
Sara L. Ellison, Max Pettini, Chris W. Churchill +6
We present a brief overview of the ongoing Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey. We review the results of our survey for z>2.2 damped Lyman alpha syste…
