A Metal-poor Damped Ly α System at Redshift 6.4

© 2019. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. We identify a strong Lyα damping wing profile in the spectrum of the quasar P183+05 at z = 6.4386. Given the detection of several narrow metal absorption lines at z = 6.40392, the most likely explanation for the absorption profile is th...
