J/MNRAS/335/555 Lyman-alpha forest of 5 QSOs (Kim+, 2002) ================================================================================ The physical properties of the Ly{alpha} forest at z > 1.5 . Kim T.-S., Carswell R.F., Cristiani S., D'odorico S., Giallongo E. =2002MNRAS.335..555K ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: QSOs Keywords: quasars: absorption lines Abstract: Combining a new, increased data set of eight quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) covering the Ly{alpha} forest at redshifts 1.5, KCD), we have included five more QSOs. Note that we extended the wavelength coverage for the Ly forest towards J2233-606 and HE2217-2818 in this study compared with those from KCD. The spectra were reduced with MIDAS/UVES and the resolution is about R~45000.
