Damped Lyman alpha systems and galaxy formation models - II. High ions and Lyman limit systems
Ariyeh H. Maller, Jason X. Prochaska, Rachel S. Somerville +1
We investigate a model for the high-ionization state gas associated with observed damped Lyman-alpha systems, based on a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation set within the para…
Studying Galaxy Formation with Hubble's Successor
Rachel S. Somerville
In this paper, I discuss the capabilities and limitations of an 8-10 meter ultraviolet/optical telescope in space, the proposed successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, in the cont…
Evaluating the disk formation paradigm in the LCDM framework: constraints from the Milky Way
Rachel S. Somerville
We investigate the properties of a galaxy similar to the Milky Way within the context of standard disk formation theory in a LCDM universe. Using the standard assumption that baryo…
Probing Galaxy Formation with High Energy Gamma-Rays
Joel R. Primack
I discuss how measurements of the absorption of -rays from GeV to TeV energies via pair production on the extragalactic background light (EBL) can probe important issues in gala…
