HST_z2 Dataset

This document describes the HST_z2 dataset.

Sources

The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) + Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) Survey for Lyman Limit Systems is a set of slitless UV/optical quasar spectra obtained with HST/ACS and HST/WFC3 by O’Meara et al. (2011) for the analysis of z<2 LLS. The quasars are a homogeneous set of sources from the SDSS with zem ~ 2 to 2.5 and are bright in the g-band.

Meta Data

The meta data provides only the default information.

Spectra

These are the wavelength and flux calibrated spectra using only Beam A from the observations. See O’Meara et al. (2011) for full details. The data are written in flambda units (erg/s/cm^2/Ang) with a 1e-17 scaling.
