Orientation effects on cool gas absorption from gravitational-arc tomography of a z = 0.77 disc galaxy

A. Fernandez-Figueroa, S. Lopez, N. Tejos +11

We use spatially-resolved spectroscopy of a distant giant gravitational arc to test orientation effects on MgII absorption equivalent width (EW) and covering fraction (kappa) in th…

The evolution of the Si IV content in the Universe from the epoch of reionization to cosmic noon

V. D'Odorico, K. Finlator, S. Cristiani +9

We investigate the abundance and distribution of metals in the high-redshift intergalactic medium and circum-galactic medium through the analysis of a sample of almost 600 SiIV abs…

On the selection of damped Lyman alpha systems using MgII absorption at 2<z<4

T. A. M. Berg, S. L. Ellison, J. X. Prochaska +8

The XQ-100 survey provides optical and near infrared coverage of 36 blindly selected, intervening damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) at 2 < z < 4, simultaneously covering the MgII d…

XQ-100: A legacy survey of one hundred 3.5 < z < 4.5 quasars observed with VLT/XSHOOTER

S. Lopez, V. D'Odorico, S. L. Ellison +23

We describe the execution and data reduction of the European Southern Observatory Large Programme "Quasars and their absorption lines: a legacy survey of the high-redshift universe…

The evolution of neutral gas in damped Lyman systems from the XQ-100 survey

R. Sánchez-Ramírez, S. L. Ellison, J. X. Prochaska +10

We present a sample of 38 intervening Damped Lyman (DLA) systems identified towards 100 quasars, observed during the XQ-100 survey. The XQ-100 DLA sample is combined wi…

Observations of the Naked-Eye GRB 080319B: Implications of Nature's Brightest Explosion

J. S. Bloom, D. A. Perley, W. Li +18

The first gamma-ray burst (GRB) confirmed to be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, GRB 080319B at redshift z = 0.937, allowed for exquisite follow-up observations across…
