Mg II ABSORPTION AT 2 < z < 6 WITH MAGELLAN/FIRE. II. A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF HI, METALS, AND IONIZATION IN GALACTIC HALOS

We present a detailed study of H I and metals for 110 Mg II absorption systems discovered at 1.98 < z < 5.33 in the infrared spectra of high-redshift QSOs. Using new measurements of rest-frame UV lines from optical spectra of the same targets, we compare the high-redshift sample with carefully...
