The correlation of the Lyman-alpha forest and metals in close pairs of hight-redshift quasars

F. Coppolani, P. Petitjean, F. Stoehr +6

We derive the transverse flux correlation function in the Lyman-alpha forest at z~2.1 from VLT-FORS observations of a total of 32 pairs of quasars. The shape and correlation length…

The sub-DLA toward HE0001-2340: galaxy formation at z=2

P. Richter, C. Ledoux, P. Petitjean +1

We present a detailed analysis of chemical abundances in a sub-damped Ly alpha absorber (sub-DLA) at z=2.187 towards the quasar HE0001-2340 (z_em=2.28) using VLT/UVES data. This su…

The Structure of High Redshift Galactic Halos

Sara L. Ellison, Rodrigo Ibata, Max Pettini +4

Observations of multiple or lensed QSOs at high redshift can be used to probe transverse structure in intervening absorption systems. Here we present results obtained from STIS spe…

Adaptive Optics imaging of Quasar Hosts

I. Marquez, P. Petitjean

We present the results of adaptive-optics imaging of 12 (z < 0.6) quasars in the H and K bands using the PUEO system mounted on the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope. The QSOs (m_V >…

Coincidences of high density peaks in UVES spectra of QSO pairs

Valentina D'Odorico, Patrick Petitjean, Stefano Cristiani

We present preliminary results of an investigation of the clustering properties of high matter density peaks between redshift ~2 and ~3, as traced by Lyman limit and Damped Ly-alph…

H_2 molecules in damped systems

R. Srianand, P. Petitjean, C. Ledoux

Damped Lyman alpha systems seen in the spectra of high-z QSOs arise in high-density neutral gas in which molecular hydrogen (H_2) should be conspicuous. Systematic searches to dete…
