Intergalactic C IV absorption at redshifts 5 . 4 to 6
We report the discovery of a strong C IV λλ1548, 1550 absorption system at zabs = 5.7238 in the near-infrared spectrum (J-band) of the zem = 6.28 QSO SDSS J1030+0524. These observations, obtained with the Infrared Spectrometer And Array Camera (ISAAC) on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope (ESO VLT), demonstrate that, with modern instrumentation, QSO absorption line spectrosc...
متن کاملHighly-Ionized Intergalactic Gas at Low Redshifts: Constraints from QSO Absorption Lines
High-resolution UV spectroscopy of low−z QSOs with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer has indicated that O VI absorption-line systems provide a valuable probe of the low−z intergalactic medium. These observations and their implications are briefly reviewed. Though still uncertain due to the small sample, the number of O VI absorbers per unit ...
متن کاملGalaxies , Intergalactic Absorption Lines , and Feedback at High Redshift
The galaxy-IGM part of the Lyman-break survey currently consists of measured redshifts for more than 1000 galaxies with redshift 1.5 < ∼ z < ∼ 3.5 along the sightlines to 25 background QSOs. One of the goals of the survey was to measure the influence on the intergalactic medium of energetic feedback from star and black-hole formation. This talk begins with a description of the observed correlat...
متن کاملRadio Foregrounds for the 21cm Tomography of the Neutral Intergalactic Medium at High Redshifts
Absorption or emission against the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) may be observed in the redshifted 21cm line if the spin temperature of the neutral intergalactic medium prior to reionization differs from the CMB temperature. This so-called 21cm tomography should reveal important information on the physical state of the intergalactic medium at high redshifts. The fluctuations in th...
متن کاملGalaxies at High Redshifts
Several conclusions have been reached over the last few years concerning high-redshift galaxies: (1) The excess of faint blue galaxies is due to dwarf galaxies. (2) Star formation peaks at redshifts z ≈ 1 − 2. (3) It appears to occur piecemeal in any given galaxy and there is no evidence for starbursting throughout a large ∼ 10 kpc galaxy. (4) There is significant and sharp diminution in the nu...
