We discuss two mistreatments of damped Lya (DLA) kinematic analysis that were first performed by Haehnelt, Steinmetz, & Rauch (1998; hereafter HSR98) and have recently been repeated by Hong et al. (2010; arXiv:1008.4242v1, arXiv:1008.4242v2; hereafter H10). Each mistreatment led to the improper excising of simulated absorption profiles. Specifically, their analyses are strictly biased against DLA sightlines that have low HI column density log NHI < 20.5, very high NHI values, and (for all NHI) sightlines with low velocity width Dv (<30 km/s for HSR98; <[20-30] km/s for H10). None of these biases exist in the observational analysis. We suspect these mistreatments compromise the results that followed. Hopefully this posting will prevent their repetition in the future.
With the aim of distinguishing between possible physical mechanisms acting on galaxies when they fall into clusters, we study the properties of the gas and the stars in a sample of 422 emission-line galaxies from EDisCS in different environments up t
Galaxy surveys aim to map the large-scale structure of the Universe and use redshift space distortions to constrain deviations from general relativity and probe the existence of massive neutrinos. However, the amount of information that can be extrac
We present a study of the kinematic properties of the ionized gas in the dominant giant HII region of the well known HII galaxy: II Zw 40. High spatial and spectral resolution spectroscopy has been obtained using IFU mode on the GMOS instrument at Ge
We present results from a numerical study of the multiphase interstellar medium in sub-Lyman-break galaxy protogalactic clumps. Such clumps are abundant at z=3 and are thought to be a major contributor to damped Ly-alpha absorption. We model the form
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group are usually located close to the Milky Way or M31. Currently, there are two clear exceptions to this rule, and the Tucana dwarf galaxy is the most distant at almost 1 Mpc from the Milky Way. Using the VLT/
