HD molecules at high redshift: A low astration factor of deuterium in a solar-metallicity DLA system at z=2.418
P. Noterdaeme, P. Petitjean, C. Ledoux +2
We present the detection of deuterated molecular hydrogen (HD) in the remote Universe in a damped Lyman-alpha cloud at zabs=2.418 toward the quasar SDSS J143912.04+111740.5. This i…
Detection of the 2175Å~ extinction feature and 21-cm absorption in two MgII systems at z~1.3
R. Srianand, N. Gupta, P. Petitjean +2
We have discovered two dusty intervening MgII absorption systems at z~1.3 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database. The overall spectra of both QSOs are red (u-K>4.5 mag) an…
Molecular hydrogen in high-redshift Damped Lyman-alpha systems: The VLT/UVES database
P. Noterdaeme, C. Ledoux, P. Petitjean +1
We present the current status of ongoing searches for molecular hydrogen in high-redshift (1.8 < zabs <= 4.2) Damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) capitalising on observations perform…
Recovering the topology of the IGM at z~2
S. Caucci, S. Colombi, C. Pichon +3
We investigate how well the 3D density field of neutral hydrogen in the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) can be reconstructed using the Lyman-alpha absorptions observed along lines of si…
