[CII] 158 micron Emission from the Host Galaxies of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems
Marcel Neeleman, Nissim Kanekar, J. Xavier Prochaska +3
Gas surrounding high redshift galaxies has been studied through observations of absorption line systems toward background quasars for decades. However, it has proven difficult to i…
C II radiative cooling of the Galactic diffuse interstellar medium: Insight about the star formation in Damped Lyman-alpha systems
Nirupam Roy, Stephan Frank, Christopher L. Carilli +3
The far-infrared [C II] 158 micrometer fine structure transition is considered to be a dominant coolant in the interstellar medium. For this reason, under the assumption of a therm…
The most metal-rich damped Lyman alpha systems at z>1.5 I: The Data
Trystyn A. M. Berg, Marcel Neeleman, J. Xavier Prochaska +2
We present HIRES observations for 30 damped Lyman alpha systems, selected on the basis of their large metal column densities from previous, lower resolution data. The measured meta…
Probing the Physical Conditions of Atomic Gas at High Redshift
Marcel Neeleman, J. Xavier Prochaska, Arthur. M. Wolfe
A new method is used to measure the physical conditions of the gas in damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs). Using high resolution absorption spectra of a sample of 80 DLAs, we are abl…
Directly imaging damped Ly-alpha galaxies at z>2. II: Imaging and spectroscopic observations of 32 quasar fields
Michele Fumagalli, John M. O'Meara, J. Xavier Prochaska +2
Damped Ly-alpha absorbers (DLAs) are a well-studied class of absorption line systems, and yet the properties of their host galaxies remain largely unknown. To investigate the origi…
Spatially Resolved Emission of a High Redshift DLA Galaxy with the Keck/OSIRIS IFU
Regina A. Jorgenson, Arthur M. Wolfe
We present the first Keck/OSIRIS infrared IFU observations of a high redshift damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) galaxy detected in the line of sight to a background quasar. By utilizing the…
