The Chemical and Ionization Conditions in Weak Mg II Absorbers
Anand Narayanan, Jane C. Charlton, Toru Misawa +2
We present an analysis of the chemical and ionization conditions in a sample of 100 weak Mg II absorbers identified in the VLT/UVES archive of quasar spectra. Using a host of low i…
On the importance of high redshift intergalactic voids
Matteo Viel, Joerg M. Colberg, Tae-Sun Kim
We investigate the properties of one--dimensional flux ``voids'' (connected regions in the flux distribution above the mean flux level) by comparing hydrodynamical simulations of l…
Possible evidence for an inverted temperature-density relation in the intergalactic medium from the flux distribution of the Lyman-alpha forest
J. S. Bolton, M. Viel, T. -S. Kim +2
We compare the improved measurement of the Lya forest flux probability distribution at 1.7<z<3.2 presented by Kim et al. (2007) to a large set of hydrodynamical simulations of the…
A Homogeneous Sample of Sub-DLAs IV: Global Metallicity Evolution
Celine Peroux, Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky, Sandro D'Odorico +2
An accurate method to measure the abundance of high-redshift galaxies consists in the observation of absorbers along the line of sight toward a background quasar. Here, we present…
The Kinematic Evolution of Strong MgII Absorbers
Andrew C. Mshar, Jane C. Charlton, Ryan S. Lynch +2
We consider the evolution of strong (W_r(2796) > 0.3A) MgII absorbers, most of which are closely related to luminous galaxies. Using 20 high resolution quasar spectra from the VLT/…
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…
