Low and High Ionization Absorption Properties of Mg II Absorption-Selected Galaxies at Intermediate Redshifts. II. Taxonomy, Kinematics, and Galaxies

Christopher W. Churchill, Richard R. Mellon, Jane C. Charlton +4

[Abridged] We examine a sample of 45 Mg II absorption-selected systems over the redshift range 0.4 to 1.4. Mg II and Fe II absorption profiles were observed at a resolution of ~6 k…

Low and High Ionization Absorption Properties of Mg II Absorption-Selected Galaxies at Intermediate Redshifts. I. General Properties

Christopher W. Churchill, Richard R. Mellon, Jane C. Charlton +4

We present extensive metal-line absorption properties for 45 absorption systems that were selected by their Mg II absorption at redshifts between 0.4 and 1.4. For each system the p…

The HST Quasar Absorption Line Key Project. XIV. The Evolution of Ly-alpha Absorption Lines in the Redshift Interval 0 to 1.5

Ray J. Weymann, Buell T. Jannuzi, Limin Lu +10

We present an analysis of the evolution of the Ly alpha absorption lines in the redshift interval 0.0 to \sim 1.5 based upon a sample of 987 lines identified in the spectra of 63 Q…

Galaxy Clustering Around Nearby Luminous Quasars

Karl B. Fisher, John N. Bahcall, Sofia Kirhakos +1

We examine the clustering of galaxies around a sample of 20 luminous low redshift (z<0.30) quasars observed with the Wide Field Camera-2 on the Hubble Space Telescope. The HST reso…

The Apparently Normal Galaxy Hosts for Two Luminous Quasars

John N. Bahcall, Sofia Kirhakos, Donald P. Schneider

HST images (with WFPC2) of PHL~909\ () and PG~0052251\ () show that these luminous radio-quiet quasars each occur in an apparently normal host galaxy. The…

M Dwarfs, Microlensing, and the Mass Budget of the Galaxy

John N. Bahcall, Chris Flynn, Andrew Gould +1

We show that faint red stars do not contribute significantly to the mass budget of the Galaxy or to microlensing statistics. Our results are obtained by analyzing two long exposure…
