Journal Article
Cucchiara, A., Fumagalli, M., Rafelski, M., Kocevski, D., Prochaska, J., Cooke, R., & Becker, G. (2015). Unveiling the Secrets of Metallicity and Massive Star Formation Using DLAs along Gamma-Ray Bursts. Astrophysical Journal, 804(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/804/1/51

We present the largest, publicly available sample of damped Lyα systems (DLAs) along the lines of sight of Swift-discovered gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in order to investigate the environmental properties of long GRB hosts in the z = 1.8–6 redshift range...

The most metal-poor damped Lyα systems: An insight into dwarf galaxies at high redshift (2015)
Journal Article
Cooke, R., Pettini, M., & Jorgenson, R. (2015). The most metal-poor damped Lyα systems: An insight into dwarf galaxies at high redshift. Astrophysical Journal, 800(1), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/800/1/12

In this paper we analyze the kinematics, chemistry, and physical properties of a sample of the most metal-poor damped Lyα systems (DLAs), to uncover their links to modern-day galaxies. We present evidence that the DLA population as a whole exhibits a... Read More about The most metal-poor damped Lyα systems: An insight into dwarf galaxies at high redshift.
