Nearly pristine gas in a galaxy 1 billion years after the Big Bang

Sarah E. I. Bosman, Frederick B. Davies, Louise Welsh +22

Excitation of carbon and oxygen ions is the primary mechanism by which collapsing gas clouds dissipate heat to form new stars. At early cosmic times, in galaxies with chemically pr…

Connecting CGM enrichment with Lyman alpha emitters at 2.9 < z < 6.7

A. M. Sebastian, E. Ryan-Weber, R. L. Davies +2

We present the results of a blind search for Lyman emitters (LAEs) in three deep archival quasar fields from VLT/MUSE using state-of-the-art detection algorithms. We e…

E-XQR-30: Evidence for an Increase in the Ionization State of Metal Absorbers from z~6 to z~2

Stephanie Rowlands, R. L. Davies, E. Ryan-Weber +15

We investigate the evolution of the ionization state of metal-enriched gas in and around galaxies near the epoch of reionization using a sample of 488 metal absorption systems at 4…

The clustering of C IV and Si IV at the end of reionisation: A perspective from the E-XQR-30 survey

Louise Welsh, Valentina D'Odorico, Fabio Fontanot +14

We aim to study the clustering of metal absorption lines and the structures that they arise in as a function of cosmic time. We focus on C IV and Si IV absorption features that are…

No Redshift Evolution in the Fe II/Mg II Flux Ratios of Quasars across Cosmic Time

Danyang Jiang, Masafusa Onoue, Linhua Jiang +13

The Fe II/Mg II emission line flux ratio in quasar spectra serves as a proxy for the relative Fe to alpha-element abundances in the broad line regions of quasars. Due to the expect…

Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at

Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28

Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at , we revisi…

Evidence of Pop~III stars' chemical signature in neutral gas at z~6. A study based on the E-XQR-30 spectroscopic sample

Alessio Sodini, Valentina D'Odorico, Stefania Salvadori +16

This study explores the metal enrichment signatures attributed to the first generation of stars (PopIII) in the Universe, focusing on the E-XQR-30 sample. We aim to identify traces…
