The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - VI. Mapping HI in the proximity of LBGs with X-Shooter
R. M. Bielby, T. Shanks, N. H. M. Crighton +6
We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of gas and galaxies using new X-Shooter observations of quasars. Adding the X-Shooter data to an existing dataset of h…
Towards the statistical detection of the warm-hot intergalactic medium in inter-cluster filaments of the cosmic web
Nicolas Tejos, J. Xavier Prochaska, Neil H. M. Crighton +6
Modern analyses of structure formation predict a universe tangled in a 'cosmic web' of dark matter and diffuse baryons. These theories further predict that at low-z, a significant…
The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - V. Characterising the z = 3.1 Lyman Alpha Emitter Population
R. M. Bielby, P. Tummuangpak, T. Shanks +6
We present a survey of Ly emitters (LAEs) within the fields of the VLT LBG Redshift Survey. The data encompasses 5 independent survey fields co-spatial with spectroscop…
A robust deuterium abundance; Re-measurement of the z=3.256 absorption system towards the quasar PKS1937-1009
S. Riemer-Sørensen, J. K. Webb, N. Crighton +6
The primordial deuterium abundance is an important tracer of the fundamental physics taking place during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. It can be determined from absorption features alo…
The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - IV. Gas and galaxies at z ~ 3 in observations and simulations
P. Tummuangpak, R. Bielby, T. Shanks +4
We use observations and simulation to study the relationship between star-forming galaxies and the intergalactic medium at z~3. The observed galaxy sample is based on spectroscopic…
A high molecular fraction in a sub-damped absorber at z=0.56
Neil H. M. Crighton, Jill Bechtold, Robert F. Carswell +8
Measuring rest-frame ultraviolet rotational transitions from the Lyman and Werner bands in absorption against a bright background continuum is one of the few ways to directly measu…
The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - III. The clustering and dynamics of Lyman-break galaxies at z ~ 3
R. Bielby, M. D. Hill, T. Shanks +12
We present a catalogue of 2135 galaxy redshifts from the VLT LBG Redshift Survey (VLRS), a spectroscopic survey of z ~ 3 galaxies in wide fields centred on background quasi-stellar…
