Description
This second title in the series published for the Space Telescope Science Institute collects the papers given at a symposium on QSO Absorption Lines in Baltimore, Maryland, in May 1987. Experts in the field discuss the nature of the absorbing process in the vicinity of quasars, the 'Lyman-alpha forest', metal-line systems, and quasars as probes of high redshift galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope will be a valuable tool for learning more about the physics and astronomy of quasars. This book keeps professionals and researchers up-to-date with current models of quasar absorption.
