High-S/N Quasar Observations with HST/COS: Deep Fields for Spectroscopy

Andrew J. Fox, Jerry Kriss, Philipp Richter +49

Hubble is still in prime observing condition for making transformative discoveries in UV astronomy. In this white paper we describe the science case for a deep (S/N>30) UV spectros…

Spatial-Kinematic Absorption Models of the Circumgalactic Medium. I. Structures, Orientations, and Kinematics

Christopher W. Churchill

In this two-paper series, we present a straightforward mathematical model for synthesizing quasar absorption line profiles from sight lines through idealized, spatial-kinematic mod…

13 Billion Years of MgII Absorber Evolution

Christopher W. Churchill, Asif Abbas, Glenn G. Kacprzak +1

Applying "apportioned integrals," we use dN/dX measurements to determine the MgII absorber equivalent width distribution function for Wr > 0.03 [angstroms] and 0 < z < 7. Adopting…

The Synthetic Absorption Line Spectral Almanac (SALSA)

Dylan Nelson, Celine Peroux, Philipp Richter +10

We create the first large-scale mock spectroscopic survey of gas absorption sightlines traversing the interstellar medium (ISM), circumgalactic medium (CGM), and intergalactic medi…

Deep Learning Voigt Profiles I. Single-Cloud Doublets

Bryson Stemock, Christopher W. Churchill, Avery Lee +3

Voigt profile (VP) decomposition of quasar absorption lines is key to studying intergalactic gas and the baryon cycle governing the formation and evolution of galaxies. The VP velo…

Models of Five Absorption Line Systems Along the Line of Sight Toward PG0117+213

J. R. Masiero, J. C. Charlton, J. Ding +2

We present our investigation into the physical conditions of the gas in five intervening quasar absorption line systems along the line of sight toward the quasar PG 0117+213, with…
