A Community Science Case for E-ELT HIRES
R. Maiolino, M. Haehnelt, M. T. Murphy +57
Building on the experience of the high-resolution community with the suite of VLT high-resolution spectrographs, which has been tremendously successful, we outline here the (scienc…
The neutral gas extent of galaxies as derived from weak intervening CaII absorbers
P. Richter, F. Krause, C. Fechner +2
(Abridged) We present a systematic study of weak intervening CaII absorbers at low redshift (z<0.5), based on the analysis of archival high resolution (R>45,000) optical spectra of…
Absorption and emission line studies of gas in the Milky Way halo
N. Ben Bekhti, P. Richter, B. Winkel +4
We perform a systematic study of physical properties and distribution of neutral and ionised gas in the halo of the Milky Way (MW). Beside the large neutral intermediate- and high-…
Galaxy Group at z=0.3 Associated with the Damped Lyman Alpha System Towards Quasar Q1127-145
G. G. Kacprzak, M. T. Murphy, C. W. Churchill
(Abridged) We performed a spectroscopic galaxy survey, complete to m<20.3 (L_B>0.15L_B* at z=0.3), within 100x100" of the quasar Q1127-145 (z=1.18). The VLT/UVES quasar spectrum co…
