• W2065524178 abstract "We present a detailed analysis of three extremely strong, intervening damped Lyman-alpha systems (ESDLAs, with log N(H I) textgreater= 21.7) observed towards quasars with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope. We measure overall metallicities of [Zn/H] similar to -1.2, -1.3, and -0.7 at, respectively, z(abs) = 2.34 towards SDSS J214043.02-032139.2 (log N(H I) = 22.4 +/- 0.1), z(abs) = 3.35 towards SDSS J145646.48+160939.3 (log N(H I) = 21.7 +/- 0.1), and z(abs) = 2.25 towards SDSS J015445.22+193515.8 (log N(H I) = 21.75 +/- 0.15). Iron depletion of about a factor 15 compared to volatile elements is seen in the DLA towards J2140-0321, while the other two show deletion that is typical of known DLAs. We detect H-2 towards J2140-0321 (log N(H-2) = 20.13 +/- 0.07) and J1456+1609 (log N(H-2) = 17.10 +/- 0.09) and argue for a tentative detection towards J0154+1935. Absorption from the excited fine-structure levels of OI, CI, and Si II are detected in the system towards J2140-0321, which has the largest H I column density detected so far in an intervening DLA. This is the first detection of OI fine-structure lines in a QSO-DLA, which also provides us with a rare possibility to study the chemical abundances of less abundant atoms like Co and Ge. Simple single-phase photo-ionisation models fail to reproduce all the observed quantities. Instead, we suggest that the cloud has a stratified structure: H-2 and CI most likely stem from a dense (log n(H) similar to 2.5-3) and cold (80 K) phase and from a warm (250 K) phase. They contain a fraction of the total H I, while a warmer (T textgreater 1000 K) phase probably contributes significantly to the high excitation of OI fine-structure levels. The observed CI/H-2 column density ratio is surprisingly low compared to model predictions, and we do not detect CO molecules: this suggests a possible underabundance of C by 0.7 dex compared to other alpha elements. The absorber could be a photo-dissociation region close to a bright star (or a star cluster) where higher temperature occurs in the illuminated region. Direct detection of on-going star formation through e.g. near-infrared emission lines in the surroundings of the gas would enable a detailed physical modelling of the system." @default.
