Obscured and powerful AGN and starburst activities at z~3.5
M. Polletta, A. Omont, S. Berta +9
We report the discovery of two sources at z=3.867 and z=3.427 that exhibit powerful starburst and AGN activities. They benefit from data from radio to X rays from the CFHTLS-D1/SWI…
HD molecules at high redshift: A low astration factor of deuterium in a solar-metallicity DLA system at z=2.418
P. Noterdaeme, P. Petitjean, C. Ledoux +2
We present the detection of deuterated molecular hydrogen (HD) in the remote Universe in a damped Lyman-alpha cloud at zabs=2.418 toward the quasar SDSS J143912.04+111740.5. This i…
Detection of the 2175Å~ extinction feature and 21-cm absorption in two MgII systems at z~1.3
R. Srianand, N. Gupta, P. Petitjean +2
We have discovered two dusty intervening MgII absorption systems at z~1.3 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database. The overall spectra of both QSOs are red (u-K>4.5 mag) an…
Line shift, line asymmetry, and the 6Li/7Li isotopic ratio determination
Roger Cayrel, Matthias Steffen, Hum Chand +6
Context: Line asymmetries are generated by convective Doppler shifts in stellar atmospheres, especially in metal-poor stars, where convective motions penetrate to higher atmospheri…
Excitation mechanisms in newly discovered H2-bearing Damped Lyman-alpha clouds: systems with low molecular fractions
P. Noterdaeme, C. Ledoux, P. Petitjean +3
We probe the physical conditions in high-redshift damped Ly-alpha systems using the observed molecular fraction and the rotational excitation of molecular hydrogen. We report two n…
C IV absorption in damped and sub-damped Lyman-alpha systems: correlations with metallicity and implications for galactic winds at z~2-3
Andrew J. Fox, Cédric Ledoux, Patrick Petitjean +1
We present a study of C IV absorption in a sample of 63 damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) systems and 11 sub-DLAs in the redshift range 1.75<z_abs<3.61, using a dataset of high-resolution (…
