Limits on the star formation rates of z > 2 damped Ly alpha systems from H alpha spectroscopy
We present the results of a long-slit K-band spectroscopic search for Hα emission from eight damped Lyα absorbers (DLAs) at z > 2 with the goal of measuring the star formation rates in these systems. For each system we searched for compact sources of Hα emission within a solid angle 11 × 2.5...
