Faint galaxies close to QSOs with damped Lyman α absorption systems
We have obtained very deep near-infrared images in the fields of 10 QSOs the spectra of which contain damped Lyman α absorption (DLA) systems with 1.7 < zabs < 2.5. The main aim of our investigation is to provide new constraints on the properties of distant galaxies responsible for the...
