Discovery of a Damped Lyα Galaxy at z ∼ 3 toward the Quasar SDSS J011852+040644
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We report the detection of the host galaxy of a damped Lyα system (DLA) with log N(H i) [cm−2] = 21.0 ± 0.10 at z ≈ 3.0091 toward the background quasar SDSS J011852+040644 using the Palomar Cosmic Web Imager at the Hale (P200) telescope. We detect Lyα emission in the dark core of the DLA trough at a 3.3σ confidence level, with Lyα luminosity of L Lyα = (3.8 ± 0.8) × 1042 erg s−1, corresponding to a star formation rate of ≳2 M ⊙ yr−1 (considering a lower limit on Lyα escape fraction f esc Ly α ∼ 2 % ) as typical for Lyman break galaxies at these redshifts. The Lyα emission is blueshifted with respect to the systemic redshift derived from metal absorption lines by 281 ± 43 km s−1. The associated galaxy is at very small impact parameter of ≲12 kpc from the background quasar, which is in line with the observed anticorrelation between column density and impact parameter in spectroscopic searches tracing the large-scale environments of DLA host galaxies.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
