The Evolution of Ly-alpha Absorbing Galaxies
Suzanne M. Linder
The evolution of Ly-alpha absorber counts is simulated for a model population of absorbing galaxies. The distribution of gas relative to galaxies could evolve between moderate and…
The Identification of LyαAbsorbers at Low Redshift
Suzanne M. Linder
Plots of equivalent width (or neutral hydrogen column density) versus impact parameter (between the galaxy and quasar line of sight) have been used to support a variety of conclusi…
Simulations of LyαAbsorption from Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
Suzanne M. Linder
Using simulations of the low redshift galaxy population based upon galaxy observations, it is shown (Linder 1998) that the majority of Ly absorbers at low redshift could arise i…
Effects of Galaxy Selection Upon Lyman Alpha Absorber Identification
Suzanne M. Linder
While it is possible to explain Lyman alpha absorber counts at low redshift using gas which is associated with moderately extended galaxies (Linder 1997), absorbers are often obser…
Comparing Low Surface Brightness Galaxies and Ly Absorbers
Suzanne M. Linder
I explore the hypothesis that Ly absorption at low redshift is caused by the outer regions of extended galaxy disks, including those of dwarf and low surface brightness galaxies…
