Neutral-Gas-Phase Metal Abundances in ZnII-Selected Quasar Absorption Line Systems near Redshift
Eric M. Monier, David A. Turnshek, Sandhya M. Rao +2
We present ten metallicity measurements for quasar absorbers near that were selected for having unusually significant ZnII absorption in their SDSS spectra. Follow-up UV sp…

The Statistical Properties of Neutral Gas at z<1.65 from UV Measurements of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems
Sandhya M. Rao, David A. Turnshek, Gendith M. Sardane +1
We derive the statistical properties of neutral gas at redshifts 0.11<z<1.65 from UV measurements of quasar Lyman alpha absorption lines corresponding to 369 MgII systems with $W^{…

CaII Absorbers in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Element Abundances and Dust
Gendith M. Sardane, David A. Turnshek, Sandhya M. Rao
We present measurements of element abundance ratios and dust in CaII~absorbers identified in SDSS DR7+DR9. In an earlier paper we formed a statistical sample of 435 CaII absorbers…
