CONSTRAINTS ON THE UNIVERSAL C IV MASS DENSITY AT z ~ 6 FROM EARLY IR SPECTRA OBTAINED WITH THE MAGELLAN FIRE SPECTOGRAPH

We present a new determination of the intergalactic C IV mass density at 4.3 < z < 6.3. Our constraints are derived from high signal-to-noise spectra of seven quasars at z > 5.8 obtained with the newly commissioned Folded-Port Infrared Echellette (FIRE) spectrograph on the Magellan Baade te...
