Metals in the IGM approaching the re-ionization epoch: results from X-shooter at the VLT

V. D'Odorico, G. Cupani, S. Cristiani +15

We present the results of observations taken with the X-shooter spectrograph devoted to the study of quasars at z ~ 6. This paper focuses on the properties of metals at high redshi…

The Lyman alpha forest flux probability distribution at z>3

F. Calura, E. Tescari, V. D'Odorico +4

We present a measurement of the Lyman alpha flux probability distribution function (PDF) measured from a set of eight high resolution quasar spectra with emission redshifts at 3.3…

High resolution spectroscopy of the three dimensional cosmic web with close QSO groups

M. Cappetta, V. D'Odorico, S. Cristiani +2

We study the three-dimensional distribution of matter at z~2 using high resolution spectra of QSO pairs and simulated spectra drawn from cosmological hydro-dynamical simulations. W…

Non variability of intervening absorbers observed in the UVES spectra of the "naked-eye" GRB080319

V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, P. Goldoni +7

The aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of the intervening absorbers lying along the line of sight of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 080319B through the analysis of its optic…
