Journal ArticleDOI
The COS/UVES absorption survey of the Magellanic stream. III. ionization, total mass, and inflow rate onto the Milky Way
Andrew J. Fox,Bart P. Wakker,Kathleen A. Barger,Kathleen A. Barger,Audra K. Hernandez,Philipp Richter,Philipp Richter,Nicolas Lehner,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,Jane C. Charlton,Tobias Westmeier,Christopher Thom,Jason Tumlinson,Toru Misawa,J. Christopher Howk,L. Matthew Haffner,L.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the gas ionization level using a sample of 69 Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph sightlines that pass through or within 30° of the 21 cm emitting regions, finding that 81% (56/69) of the sightlines show UV absorption at Magellanic velocities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Population of Weak Mg II Absorbers. I. A Survey of 26 QSO HIRES/Keck Spectra* **
Christopher W. Churchill,Christopher W. Churchill,Jane R. Rigby,Jane C. Charlton,Steven S. Vogt,Steven S. Vogt,Steven S. Vogt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a search for weak Mg II absorbers was conducted and the number density of the absorbers with Wr(2796) ≥ 0.02 A was found to be primarily due to a high-metallicity selection effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low- and high-ionization absorption properties of Mg II absorption-selected galaxies at intermediate redshifts. I. General properties
Christopher W. Churchill,Richard R. Mellon,Jane C. Charlton,Buell T. Jannuzi,Sofia Kirhakos,Charles C. Steidel,Donald P. Schneider +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the metal-line absorption properties for 45 absorption systems that were selected by their Mg II absorption at redshifts between 0.4 and 1.4 were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Formation of Dwarf Galaxies in Tidal Debris: A Study of the Compact Group Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a sample of 47 candidate dwarf galaxies associated with the tidal tails and arms in the groups and estimate the contribution of the tidal dwarf formation mechanism to the population of dwarf galaxies observed at large in compact groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Census of Intrinsic Narrow Absorption Lines in the Spectra of Quasars at z = 2-4*
Toru Misawa,Jane C. Charlton,Michael Eracleous,Rajib Ganguly,David Tytler,David Tytler,David Kirkman,David Kirkman,Nao Suzuki,Nao Suzuki,Dan Lubin,Dan Lubin +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify 150 NAL systems, which contain 124 C IV, 12 N V, and 50 Si IV doublets, of which 18 are associated systems (within 5000 km s-1 of the quasar redshift).
