THE INCIDENCE OF LOW-METALLICITY LYMAN-LIMIT SYSTEMS AT z ~ 3.5: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE COLD-FLOW HYPOTHESIS OF BARYONIC ACCRETION

THE INCIDENCE OF LOW-METALLICITY LYMAN-LIMIT SYSTEMS AT z ~ 3.5: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE COLD-FLOW HYPOTHESIS OF BARYONIC ACCRETION

Cold accretion is a primary growth mechanism of simulated galaxies, yet observational evidence of "cold flows" at redshifts where they should be most efficient (z = 2–4) is scarce. In simulations, cold streams manifest as Lyman-limit absorption systems (LLSs) with low heavy-element abundan...
