Strong Clustering of High-Redshift Lyman-alpha Forest Absorption Systems
We use new observations of very weak CIV absorption lines associated with high-redshift Ly α absorption systems to measure the high-redshift Ly α line two-point correlation function (TPCF). These very weak CIV absorption lines trace small-scale velocity structure that cannot be resolved by Ly α absorption lines. We find that (1) high-redshift Ly α absorption systems with N(H I) > 3 × 10 cm are ...
متن کاملThe Lyα Forest Around High Redshift Galaxies
Motivated by the relative lack of neutral hydrogen around Lyman Break Galaxies deduced from recent observations, we investigate the properties of the Lyα forest around high redshift galaxies. The study is based on improved numerical SPH simulations implementing, in addition to standard processes, a new scheme for multiphase and outflow physics description. Although on large scales our simulatio...
متن کاملHi 21cm Absorption in Two Low Redshift Damped Lyα Systems
We report the discovery of two low redshift HI 21cm absorbers, one at z = 0.2212 towards the z em = 0.630 quasar OI 363 (B0738+313), and the other at z = 0.3127 towards PKS B1127-145 (z em = 1.187). Both were found during a survey of MgII selected systems at redshifts 0.2 < z < 1 using the new UHF-high system at the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). New HST/FOS observations also iden...
متن کاملStrong Clustering in the Low Redshift Lyman-α Forest
The two-point correlation function, ξ, of Lyman-α forest is found to be large, ξ = 1.8 −1.2, > 90% confidence level, on the scale of 250-500 km/s for a sample of absorbers (0 < z < 1.3) assembled from HST Key Project Observations. This correlation function is stronger than at high redshift (z > 1.7) where ξ ≈ 0.2 for velocities > 250 km/s. Subject headings: quasars: absorption lines
متن کاملPROBING HIGH-REDSHIFT DISKS WITH DAMPED Lyα SYSTEMS
Evidence is presented that the damped Lyα absorption systems are the high-redshift (z > 3) progenitors of galaxy disks. I discuss kinematic evidence that the damped Lyα systems are rotating disks. I also discuss implications of the lack of metal-poor damped Lyα systems with line width ∆v > 100 km s. I then present new evidence stemming from correlations between element-abundance ratios and [Fe/...
