We present spatial correlations of galaxies and IGM HI in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA 1.62 deg$^2$ field. Our data consist of 13,415 photo-$z$ galaxies at $z\sim2-3$ with $K_s<23.4$ and the Ly$\alpha$ forest absorptions in the background quasar…

We present results on the evolution and clustering of Ly-alpha lines at low z. The sample contains 1298 Ly-alpha lines from 165 quasar spectra mined from the archives of the HST/FOS. Our sample extends to z=1.7, slightly higher than the…

I explore the hypothesis that Ly$\alpha$ absorption at low redshift is caused by the outer regions of extended galaxy disks, including those of dwarf and low surface brightness galaxies. McGaugh (1996) has shown that the distribution of…

We report on the observed properties of the plasma revealed through high signal-to-noise (S/N) observations of 54 intervening O VI absorption systems containing 85 O VI and 133 H I components in a blind survey of 14 QSOs observed at ~18 km…

High-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) are among the most massive galaxies in the Universe and sites of extreme active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback processes, powering energetic radio jets. They are typically embedded in giant Ly$\alpha$…

We present deep narrow-band (lambda = 5390 Angstroms, delta lambda = 77 Angstroms) and multi-color observations of the Hubble Deep Field and the Hawaii Deep Field SSA22 obtained with the LRIS instrument at the Keck II 10-m telescope. It is…

Hydrodynamic cosmological simulations predict that the average opacity of the Ly-alpha forest should increase in the neighborhood of galaxies because galaxies form in dense environments. Recent observations (Adelberger et al. 2002) confirm…

The high redshift galaxy MS1512-cB58 (z=2.724, m_V=20.64) has been observed with the very efficient high resolution echelle spectrograph VLT/UVES. Although this is a very challenging observational program for a Southern hemisphere telescope…

We report the serendipitous detection of an H$_{2}$-bearing damped Lyman-$\alpha$ absorber at z = 0.576 in the spectrum of the QSO J0111-0316 in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey. Spectroscopic observations from HST-COS in the…

Intergalactic absorbers along lines of sight to distant quasars are a powerful diagnostic for the evolution and content of the intergalactic medium (IGM). In this study, we use the FUSE satellite to search 129 known lya absorption systems…

We present evidence that clumps of \lya lines are physically associated with about half of the extensive metal-line systems (absorption systems with four or more observed metal-line species) found in this paper, demonstrate that all four…

We present initial results of an imaging and spectroscopic survey of faint galaxies in fields of Hubble Space Telescope spectroscopic target QSOs. The primary objectives of the survey are (a) to determine the incidence, extent, and covering…

We present a statistical analysis of Ly$\alpha$ absorption using 581 galaxies at $z=4.5$--13 observed with multiple JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy programs, including JADES, UNCOVER, CEERS, and GO/DDT. We carefully construct composite spectra…

We present a detailed analysis of the intergalactic metal-line absorption systems in the archival HST/STIS and FUSE ultraviolet spectra of the low-redshift quasar PKS1302-102 (z_QSO = 0.2784). We supplement the archive data with CLOUDY…

We have performed high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of the Lyman-alpha forest in a variety of popular cold dark matter dominated cosmologies, including a low density and a vacuum-dominated model. The fluctuation amplitude of these…

FUV echelle spectroscopy of the radio-quiet QSO H1821+643 (z = 0.297), obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) at 7 km/s resolution, reveals 4 definite O VI absorption line systems and one probable O VI absorber at…

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…

We investigate the properties of the HI Ly-a absorption systems (Ly-a forest) within and around galaxy voids at z<0.1. We find a significant excess (>99% c.l.) of Ly-a systems at the edges of galaxy voids with respect to a random…

Simulations of the formation of large-scale structure predict that dark matter, low density highly ionized gas, and galaxies form 10 40 Mpc scale filaments. These structure are easily recognized in the distribution of galaxies, but have not…

We model the requirements on observational data that would allow an accurate determination of the degree of association between Lyman alpha absorbers and peaks in the redshift distribution of galaxies (large-scale structures like clusters…
