We present a detailed analysis of three metal absorption systems observed in the spectrum of the HDF-South quasar J2233-606 (z_em = 2.238), taking advantage of new VLT-UVES high resolution data (R=45000, S/N = 40-60, \lambda\lambda…

(ABRIDGED) We present a study of the highly ionized gas (plasma) associated with damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) systems at z=2.1-3.1. We search for O VI absorption and corresponding Si IV, C IV, and N V in a Very Large…

We report results of the CO(J=3-2) and HCO+(J=4-3) observations of the W40 HII region with the ASTE 10 m telescope (HPBW~22 arcsec) to search for molecular outflows and dense clumps.We found that the velocity field in the region is highly…

Hot ionized gas is observed in the local vicinity of our galaxy through spectral absorption features. The most common hypothesis is that this gas forms a halo surrounding our Milky-Way (MW), in collisional ionization equilibrium. In this…

We investigate a model for the high-ionization state gas associated with observed damped Lyman-alpha systems, based on a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation set within the paradigm of hierarchical structure formation. In our model, the…

We examine the kinematic structure of Damped Lyman-alpha Systems (DLAs) in a series of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations using the AREPO code. We are able to match the distribution of velocity widths of associated low ionisation metal…

We present a study of the abundances and physical conditions in the interstellar gas toward the heavily reddened star HD 192639 [E_(B-V) = 0.64], based on analysis of FUSE and HST/STIS spectra covering the range from 912 to 1361 A. This…

By combining our UVES-VLT spectra of a sample of four damped Ly-alpha systems (DLAs) toward the quasars Q0100+13, Q1331+17, Q2231-00 and Q2343+12 with the existing HIRES-Keck spectra, we covered the total spectral range from 3150 to 10000 A…

We present deep spectroscopic (3600 - 24700 A) X-shooter observations of the bright Herbig-Haro object HH1, one of the best laboratories to study the chemical and physical modifications caused by protostellar shocks on the natal cloud. We…

We present FUSE and HST/STIS observations of the absorption line system near the emission redshift of the radio-quiet, X-ray bright quasar HE0226-4110 (z = 0.495, V=15.2). The spectra cover the rest-frame wavelength range 610--1150 A, and…

We present a new observation of the compact HII region, G29.96-0.02, that allows us to compare the velocity structure in the ionised gas and surrounding molecular gas directly. This allows us to remove most of the remaining ambiguity about…

The star HD72089 is located behind the Vela supernova remnant and shows a complex array of high and low velocity interstellar absorption features arising from shocked clouds. A spectrum of this star was recorded over the wavelength range…

Methods. We analyse two observations taken with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer of Chandra. We investigated the spectral response to a sudden flux decrease by a factor of 5, which occurred during the second observation.…

We probe the physical conditions in high-redshift damped Ly-alpha systems using the observed molecular fraction and the rotational excitation of molecular hydrogen. We report two new detections of H2 at z = 2.402 and 1.989 toward,…

We present new multi-configuration VLA HI spectral line observations of the M81 group dIrr post-starburst galaxy DDO 165. The HI morphology is complex, with multiple column density peaks surrounding a large region of very low HI surface…

Damped Lyman-$\alpha$ Absorber (DLA), or HI 21cm Absorber (H21A), is an important probe to model-independently measure the acceleration of spectroscopic velocity ($v_\mathrm{S}$) via the Sandage-Loeb (SL) effect. Confined by the shortage of…

We present recent results from our searches of 21-cm absorption using GBT, GMRT, VLBA and WSRT to trace the evolution of cold gas in galaxies. Using ~130 sight lines with 21-cm absorption measurements, we find that within the measurement…

We present a neutral hydrogen-selected absorption-line survey of gas with HI column densities 15<log N(HI)<19 at z<1 using the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. Our main aim is to determine the metallicity…

Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) early data release spectra, we have identified 370 MgII absorption systems with MgII 2796 rest equivalent widths >= 1A and redshifts z=0.9-2.2. From our previous and ongoing HST UV spectroscopic…

We calculate theoretical population ratios of the ground fine-structure levels of some atoms/ions which typically exhibit UV lines in the spectra of QSO absorbers redward the Ly-alpha forest: C0, C+, O0, Si+ and Fe+. The most reliable…
