The Sizes and Kinematic Structure of Absorption Systems Towards the Lensed Quasar APM08279+5255
Sara L. Ellison, Rodrigo Ibata, Max Pettini +4
We have obtained spatially resolved spectra of the z=3.911 triply imaged QSO APM08279+5255 using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope…
Clues to the origin of metals in the Ly-alpha forest
S. Lopez, S. D'odorico, S. L. Ellison +1
We analyze the z=2 Ly-alpha and CIV forest along two adjacent lines-of-sight at high S/N and spectral resolution to assess the question of the origin of metals in the intergalactic…
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…
The C IV Mass Density of the Universe at Redshift 5
Max Pettini, Piero Madau, Michael Bolte +3
In order to search for metals in the Lyman alpha forest at redshifts z > 4, we have obtained spectra of high S/N and resolution of three QSOs at z > 5.4 discovered by the Sloan Dig…
The CORALS Survey: A Review and Progress Report on The Search for Dust Obscured Quasar Absorption Line Systems
Sara L. Ellison, Max Pettini, Chris W. Churchill +6
We present a brief overview of the ongoing Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey. We review the results of our survey for z>2.2 damped Lyman alpha syste…
Distinct Abundance Patterns in Multiple Damped Ly-alpha Galaxies: Evidence for Truncated Star Formation?
Sebastian Lopez, Sara L. Ellison
(abridged) Following our previous work on metal abundances of a double damped Ly-alpha system with a line-of-sight separation ~2000 km/s (Ellison & Lopez 2001), we present VLT UVES…
