Low Redshift Lyman Alpha absorbers and their Connection with Galaxies
Simon L. Morris, Buell Jannuzi, Ray Weymann
We review the ongoing debate about the relationship between low redshift Lyman Alpha absorbers and luminous galaxies. In particular, we discuss the difficulty of `assigning' a part…
X-Ray Absorption Associated with High-Velocity UV Absorbers
B. M. Sabra, F. Hamann, J. C. Shields +2
We present Chandra observations of two radio-quiet QSOs, PG 2302+029 and PG 1254+047. PG 2302+029 has an ultra high-velocity UV absorption system -56,000 km/s, while PG 1254+047 is…
The Large Area Lyman Alpha Survey
James E. Rhoads, Sangeeta Malhotra, Arjun Dey +3
The Lyman- line is expected to be strong in the presence of active star formation and the absence of dust, making it a good tool for finding chemically primitive galaxies in the…
The Chandra Multi-wavelength Project (ChaMP): a serendipitous survey with Chandra archival data
B. J. Wilkes, P. Green, R. Brissenden +34
The launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory in July 1999 opened a new era in X-ray astronomy. Its unprecedented, <0.5" spatial resolution and low background are providing views of…
Where Are We and Where Should We Go? Summary Reports of the Girona Conference Workshops
Buell T. Jannuzi, Alan P. Marsher, Martin Pohl +1
Four parallel workshops were organized at the 1996 Girona Conference, "Blazars, Black Holes, and Jets", with conference attendees free to choose which session they would like to at…
Quasar Absorption Lines and the Intergalactic Medium
Buell T. Jannuzi
The importance of HST for the study of quasar absorption lines and of the nature of the intergalactic medium is illustrated by reviewing selected results from past HST observations…
