MUSoDLA Dataset

This document describes the MUSoDLA dataset.

Sources

The Magellan uniform survey of damped Lya systems (MUSoDLA) sample is a set of echelle and echellette spectra acquired by Jorgenson et al. (2013) for the analysis of z=2-4 DLAs. The majority of these were taken by the MuSE spectrometer on the Magellan telescopes. The DLAs were selected to be at z>=2.2 from the SDSS DR5 sample in a uniform random way towards quasars with i-band magnitudes <19 mag and declinations <+15 deg.

Meta Data

The additional meta data provided better describe the observation date of the spectra.

Spectra

All of the data were continuum normalized by Jorgenson et al. (2013).
