Observations of Intergalactic Heavy-Element Enrichment in the Early Universe
<p>We present the results of a search for OVI absorption in the intergalactic medium (IGM) at 2 ≾ z ≾ 3. The measurements are taken from a set of 7 quasars observed with Keck I/HIRES. We find two classes of OVI system in the high redshift IGM. The first class is more rare (2-4 per sightline...
