C, N, O Abundances in the Most Metal-Poor Damped Lyman alpha Systems

Max Pettini, Berkeley J. Zych, Charles C. Steidel +1

This study focuses on some of the most metal-poor damped Lyman alpha absorbers known in the spectra of high redshift QSOs, using new and archival observations obtained with UV-sens…

Discovery of a Large ~200 kpc Gaseous Nebula at z=2.7 with the Spitzer Space Telescope

A. Dey, C. Bian, B. T. Soifer +11

We report the discovery of a very large, spatially extended Ly alpha -emitting nebula at z=2.656 associated with a luminous mid-infrared source. The bright mid-infrared source (F(2…

A contemporaneous infrared flash from a long gamma-ray burst: an echo from the central engine

C. H. Blake, J. S. Bloom, D. L. Starr +25

The explosion that results in a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to produce emission from two physical processes -- the activity of the central engine gives rise to the high…

The Team Keck Treasury Redshift Survey of the GOODS-North Field

Gregory D. Wirth, Christopher N. A. Willmer, Paola Amico +19

We report the results of an extensive imaging and spectroscopic survey in the GOODS-North field completed using DEIMOS on the Keck II telescope. Observations of 2018 targets in a m…

Peculiar Broad Absorption Line Quasars found in DPOSS

Robert J. Brunner, Patrick B. Hall, S. George Djorgovski +10

With the recent release of large (i.e., > hundred million objects), well-calibrated photometric surveys, such as DPOSS, 2MASS, and SDSS, spectroscopic identification of important t…

Cosmological Uses of Gamma-Ray Bursts

S. G. Djorgovski, S. R. Kulkarni, D. A. Frail +12

Studies of the cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their host galaxies are starting to provide interesting or even unique new insights in observational cosmology. GRBs represent a n…
