A Homogeneous Sample of Sub-DLAs III: Total Gas Mass Omega_(HI+HeII) at z>2
Celine Peroux, Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky, Sandro D'Odorico +2
Absorbers seen in the spectrum of background quasars are a unique tool to select HI-rich galaxies at all redshifts. In turns, these allow to determine the cosmological evolution of…

A Homogeneous Sample of Sub-DLAs II: Statistical, Kinematic and Chemical Properties
Celine Peroux, Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky, Sandro D'Odorico +2
Damped Ly-alpha Systems (DLAs), with N(HI)>2*10^20 cm^{-2}, observed in quasars have allowed us to quantify the chemical content of the Universe over cosmological scales. Such stud…
