Neutral-Gas-Phase Metal Abundances in ZnII-Selected Quasar Absorption Line Systems near Redshift

Eric M. Monier, David A. Turnshek, Sandhya M. Rao +2

We present ten metallicity measurements for quasar absorbers near that were selected for having unusually significant ZnII absorption in their SDSS spectra. Follow-up UV sp…

The Statistical Properties of Neutral Gas at z<1.65 from UV Measurements of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems

Sandhya M. Rao, David A. Turnshek, Gendith M. Sardane +1

We derive the statistical properties of neutral gas at redshifts 0.11<z<1.65 from UV measurements of quasar Lyman alpha absorption lines corresponding to 369 MgII systems with $W^{…

A study of the circum-galactic medium at z ~ 0.6 using DLA-galaxies

Hadi Rahmani, Celine Peroux, David A. Turnshek +5

We present the study of a sample of nine QSO fields, with damped-Ly-alpha (DLA) or sub-DLA systems at z~0.6, observed with the X-Shooter spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope. B…

The ESO UVES Advanced Data Products Quasar Sample - VI. Sub-Damped Lyman- Metallicity Measurements and the Circum-Galactic Medium

S. Quiret, C. Péroux, T. Zafar +8

The Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM) can be probed through the analysis of absorbing systems in the line-of-sight to bright background quasars. We present measurements of the metallici…

Thirty-six New, High-Probability, Damped Ly-alpha Absorbers at Redshift 0.42 < z < 0.70

David A. Turnshek, Eric M. Monier, Sandhya M. Rao +3

Quasar damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorption line systems with redshifts z<1.65 are used to trace neutral gas over approximately 70 per cent of the most recent history of the Universe.…

The Pittsburgh Sloan Digital Sky Survey MgII Quasar Absorption-Line Survey Catalog

Anna M. Quider, Daniel B. Nestor, David A. Turnshek +4

We present a catalog of intervening MgII quasar absorption-line systems in the redshift interval 0.36 <= z <= 2.28. The catalog was built from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release…
