The Interstellar Medium of GRB Host Galaxies I. Echelle Spectra of Swift GRB Afterglows
J. X. Prochaska, H. -W. Chen, J. S. Bloom +8
We present optical echelle spectra of four gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows (GRB 050730, GRB 050820, GRB 051111, and GRB 060418) discovered during the first 1.5 years of operation…
The Keck+Magellan Survey for Lyman Limit Absorption I: The Frequency Distribution of Super Lyman Limit Systems
John M O'Meara, Jason X. Prochaska, Scott Burles +3
We present the results of a survey for super Lyman limit systems (SLLS; defined to be absorbers with 19.0 <= log(NHI) <= 20.3 cm^-2) from a large sample of high resolution spectra…
A Shot in the Dark: A Technique for Locating the Stellar Counterparts of Damped Lyman Alpha Absorbers
John M. O'Meara, Hsiao-Wen Chen, David L. Kaplan
We present initial results from a Magellan telescope program to image galaxies that give rise to damped Lyman absorbers (DLAs) at 1.63 < z_DLA < 2.37. Our program differs from prev…
