We present the first spectroscopic measurement of the spatial cross-correlation function between damped Lyman α systems (DLAs) and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs). We obtained deep uBVRI images of nine QSO fields with 11 known z ∼ 3 DLAs and spectroscopically confirmed 211 R < 25.5 photometrically selected z > 2 LBGs. We find strong evidence for an overdensity of LBGs near DLAs versus random, the r...

Detecting the small signals of climate change for the most essential climate variables requires that satellite sensors make highly accurate and consistent measurements. Data gaps in the time series (such as gaps resulting from launch delay or failure) and inconsistencies in radiometric scales between satellites undermine the credibility of fundamental climate data records, and can lead to erron...
