Are cold flows detectable with metal absorption lines?
- Abstract:
-
[Abridged] Cold gas flowing within the "cosmic web" is believed to be an important source of fuel for star formation at high redshift. However, the presence of such filamentary gas has never been observationally confirmed. In this work, we investigate in detail whether such cold gas is detectable using low-ionisation metal absorption lines, such as CII \lambda1334 as this technique has a proven observational record for detecting gaseous structures. Using a large statistical sample of galaxies...
