Faint galaxies close to QSOs with damped Lyman α absorption systems

Abstract:: We have obtained very deep near-infrared images in the fields of 10 QSOs the spectra of which contain damped Lyman α absorption (DLA) systems with 1.7 < zabs < 2.5. The main aim of our investigation is to provide new constraints on the properties of distant galaxies responsible for the DLA absorption. After subtracting the point-spread function associated with the QSO light, we have detected galaxies very close to the QSO line of sight (projected distance 1.2-1.3 arcsec) in two fields. ...
