MUSE searches for galaxies near very metal-poor gas clouds at z~3: new constraints for cold accretion models (2016)
Journal Article
Fumagalli, M., Cantalupo, S., Dekel, A., Morris, S., O'Meara, J., Prochaska, J., & Theuns, T. (2016). MUSE searches for galaxies near very metal-poor gas clouds at z~3: new constraints for cold accretion models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 462(2), 1978-1988. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1782

We report on the search for galaxies in the proximity of two very metal-poor gas clouds at z ∼ 3 towards the quasar Q0956+122. With a 5-hour Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integration in a ∼500 × 500 kpc2 region centred at the quasar positi...

Simard, & H. Takami (Eds.), Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VI (99089J-99089J-12). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2231675

Building on the comprehensive White Paper on the scientific case for multi-object spectroscopy on the European ELT, we present the top-level instrument requirements that are being used in the Phase A design study of the MOSAIC concept. The assembled... Read More about Science requirements and trade-offs for the MOSAIC instrument for the European ELT.

On the connection between the metal-enriched intergalactic medium and galaxies: an O VI–galaxy cross-correlation study at z < 1 (2016)
Journal Article
Finn, C., Morris, S., Tejos, N., Crighton, N., Perry, R., Fumagalli, M., …Bartle, S. (2016). On the connection between the metal-enriched intergalactic medium and galaxies: an O VI–galaxy cross-correlation study at z < 1. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(1), 590-616. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw918

We present new results on the auto- and cross-correlation functions of galaxies and O VI absorbers in a ∼18 Gpc3 comoving volume at z < 1. We use a sample of 51 296 galaxies and 140 O VI absorbers in the column density range 13 ≲ log N ≲ 15 to measur...
