Metallicity of the intergalactic medium using pixel statistics: IV. Oxygen
Anthony Aguirre, Corey Dow-Hygelund, Joop Schaye +1
We have studied the abundance of oxygen in the IGM by analyzing OVI, CIV, SiIV, and HI pixel optical depths derived from a set of high-quality VLT and Keck spectra of 17 QSOs at 2.…

Star Formation Thresholds
Joop Schaye
To make predictions for the existence of ``dark galaxies'', it is necessary to understand what determines whether a gas cloud will form stars. Star formation thresholds are general…

A large population of metal-rich, compact, intergalactic C IV absorbers - Evidence for poor small-scale metal mixing
Joop Schaye, Robert F. Carswell, Tae-Sun Kim
We carried out a survey for high-metallicity C IV absorbers at redshift z ~ 2.3 in the spectra of 9 high-quality quasar spectra. Using a novel analysis technique, based on detectio…
