The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). II. Discovery of an H 2 -bearing DLA in the Vicinity of an Early-type Galaxy at z = 0.576*

We report the serendipitous detection of an H2-bearing damped Lyα absorber at z = 0.576 in the spectrum of the QSO J0111–0316 in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey. Spectroscopic observations from Hubble Space Telescope-COS in the far-ultraviolet reveal a damped absorber with log[N(H i)/cm−2] = 20...
