DISSECTING THE GASEOUS HALOS OF z ~ 2 DAMPED Lyα SYSTEMS WITH CLOSE QUASAR PAIRS
We use spectroscopy of close pairs of quasars to study diffuse gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding a sample of 40 damped Lyα systems (DLAs). The primary sightline in each quasar pair probes an intervening DLA in the redshift range 1.6 < z[subscript DLA] < 3.6, such that the seco...
