Deep imaging of Q 2112 + 059 : A bright host galaxy but no DLA absorber ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
In a ongoing programme aimed at studying galaxy counterparts of Damped Lyα Absorbers (DLAs) we have obtained high resolution deep I-band imaging data of the field around the z em = 0.457 BAL QSO Q2112+059. In the literature this QSO is listed to have a candidate DLA at z abs = 0.2039 along the line of sight. After subtraction of the QSO Point Spread Function (PSF) we detect a galaxy centred on ...
متن کاملGalaxy Counterparts of High-Redshift DLA Systems
Our understanding of the nature of DLA systems at large redshifts, ostensibly progenitors of normal disk galaxies, depends critically on their direct identifications with galaxies, and the resulting measurements of their properties. A few such objects have now been found, reaching out to z ≈ 4.1. Their observed luminosities are L ∼ L∗, star formation rates SFR ∼ a few M⊙/yr, physical sizes ∼ 20...
متن کاملDeep Ly α imaging of two z = 2 . 04 GRB host galaxy fields ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
We report on the results of deep narrow-band Lyα and broad-band U and I imaging of the fields of two Gamma-Ray bursts at redshift z=2.04 (GRB 000301C and GRB 000926). We find that the host galaxy of GRB 000926 is an extended (more than 2 arcsec), strong Lyα emitter with a rest-frame equivalent width of 71 −15 Å. The galaxy consists of two main components and several fainter knots. GRB 000926 oc...
متن کاملThe APM Bright Galaxy Catalogue
The APM Bright Galaxy Catalogue lists positions, magnitudes, shapes and morphological types for 14,681 galaxies brighter than bJ magnitude 16.44 over a 4,180 square degree area of the southern sky. Galaxy and stellar images have been located from glass copy plates of the United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope (UKST) IIIaJ sky survey using the Automated Photographic Measuring (APM) facility in Cambrid...
متن کاملThe Galaxy–Absorber Cross-Correlation Function
We describe an analysis of the galaxy–absorber cross-correlation function ξga(v, ρ) as a function of velocity separation v, impact parameter separation ρ, and absorber Lyα equivalent width W on impact parameter scales that extend up to ≈ 1 h Mpc.
