VLT X-Shooter Targets: Part II Back to Interesting Follow-up Targets
By: Sarah True

This is a list of all the interesting objects found with magnitude 18.2 < g < 18.7.

The names of each object are linked to the PDF of the SDSS spectra with the ions of each system identified. The blue system is considered the "main" system. Multiple PDFs of the same object indicate a different main system for each.

* indicates a blended trough (and therefore less accurate velocity calculations)

NOTE: Velocity is in units of 1000km/s. (e.g. 2.4 = 2400km/s) and flux is in units of 10e-17 ergs/s/cm2/A.
