Finding typical high redshift galaxies with the NOT

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present results from an ongoing search for galaxy counterparts of a subgroup of Quasar Absorption Line Systems called Damped Ly-alpha Absorbers (DLAs). DLAs have several characteristics that make them prime candidates for being the progenitors of typical present day galaxies.
