ASGC Statewide Symposium April 18, 2009
Introduction
• Gaseous and luminous matter interact and affect formation of large scale structure throughout history of universe
• Broad, “brute force” approach: take census of everything there
• Detection and observation– Stars directly observed
– Gas indirectly observed, requires external light source

Looking Forward and Looking Back
• Identify serendipitous observations
• Catalog Ly absorption lines– Redshift
– Column density
• Correlate absorption features and absorbers– Two-point correlation function
– “Nearest neighbor” approximation
