SDSS Lyman limit systems at z~3.5
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We perform a semi-automated survey for {tau}_912_>=2 Lyman limit systems (LLSs) in quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Data Release 7.
Description
From a starting sample of 2473 quasars with z_em_=3.6-5.0, we analyze 429 spectra meeting strict selection criteria for a total redshift path {Delta}z=93.8 and identify 190 intervening systems at z_LLS_>=3.3. We also perform a survey for proximate LLSs (PLLSs) and find that {l}_PLLS_(z) is systematically lower (~25%) than intervening systems.
