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…
Ca II Absorbers in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Statistics
Gendith M. Sardane, David A. Turnshek, Sandhya M. Rao
We present the results of a survey for CaII 3934,3969 absorption-line systems culled from ~ 95,000 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 and Data Release 9 quasar spectra.…
Thirty-six New, High-Probability, Damped Ly-alpha Absorbers at Redshift 0.42 < z < 0.70
David A. Turnshek, Eric M. Monier, Sandhya M. Rao +3
Quasar damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorption line systems with redshifts z<1.65 are used to trace neutral gas over approximately 70 per cent of the most recent history of the Universe.…
Probing the Extended Gaseous Regions of M31 with Quasar Absorption Lines
Sandhya Rao, Gendith Sardane, David Turnshek +4
We present HST-COS spectra of ten quasars located behind M31, selected to investigate the properties of gas associated with its extended disk and high velocity clouds (HVCs). The s…
