A Candidate Brightest Proto-Cluster Galaxy at z = 3.03
Jeff Cooke, Elizabeth J. Barton, James S. Bullock +2
We report the discovery of a very bright (m_R = 22.2) Lyman break galaxy at z = 3.03 that appears to be a massive system in a late stage of merging. Deep imaging reveals multiple p…
Detecting z > 2 Type IIn Supernovae
Jeff Cooke
Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) dominate the brightest supernova events in observed FUV flux (~1200-2000A). We show that multi-band, multi-epoch optical surveys complete to m_r = 27…
The Ucsd/Keck Damped Lya Abundance Database: A Decade of High Resolution Spectroscopy
Jason X. Prochaska, Arthur M. Wolfe, J. Christopher Howk +3
We publish the Keck/HIRES and Keck/ESI spectra that we have obtained during the first 10 years of Keck observatory operations. Our full sample includes 42 HIRES spectra and 39 ESI…
The UCSD Radio-Selected Quasar Survey for Damped Lyman alpha System
Regina A. Jorgenson, Arthur M. Wolfe, Jason X. Prochaska +5
As large optical quasar surveys for damped Lya become a reality and the study of star forming gas in the early Universe achieves statistical robustness, it is now vital to identify…
Measurement of the Spatial Cross-Correlation Function of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems and Lyman Break Galaxies
J. Cooke, A. M. Wolfe, E. Gawiser +1
We present the first spectroscopic measurement of the spatial cross-correlation function between damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs). We obtained deep…
Survey for Galaxies Associated with z~3 Damped Lyman alpha Systems I: Spectroscopic Calibration of u'BVRI Photometric Selection
J. Cooke, A. M. Wolfe, J. X. Prochaska +1
We present a survey for z~3 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) associated with damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) with the primary purpose of determining the DLA-LBG cross-correlation. Thi…
