Discovery of Super-enriched Gas ∼1 Gyr after the Big Bang

Abundances of chemical elements in the interstellar and circumgalactic media of high-redshift galaxies offer important constraints on the nucleosynthesis by early generations of stars. Damped Ly α absorbers (DLAs) in spectra of high-redshift background quasars are excellent sites for obtaining robus...
