Reproducing the kinematics of damped Lyman α systems

© 2015 The Authors. We examine the kinematic structure of damped Lyman α systems (DLAs) in a series of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations using the AREPO code. We are able to match the distribution of velocity widths of associated low-ionizationmetal absorbers substantially better than earlier wo...
