The relation between QSO absorption systems and high redshift galaxies
Matthias Steinmetz
The relation between high redshift galaxies and QSO absorption systems is discussed in the context of hierarchical galaxy formation. It is demonstrated that imprints of the reioniz…

Probing the thermal history of the Intergalactic Medium with Lyman-alpha absorption lines
Martin G. Haehnelt, Matthias Steinmetz
The Doppler parameter distribution of Lyman-alpha absorption is calculated for a set of different reionization histories. The differences in temperature between different reionizat…

Damped Lyman alpha absorbers at high redshift -- large disks or galactic building blocks?
Martin G. Haehnelt, Matthias Steinmetz, Michael Rauch
We investigate the nature of the physical structures giving rise to damped Lyman alpha absorption systems (DLAS) at high redshift. In particular, we examine the suggestion that rap…
