We present nebular emission associated with 198 strong Mg II absorbers at 0.35 $\le z \le$ 1.1 in the fibre spectra of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Measured [O II] luminosities (L$_{[O II]}$) are typical of sub-L$^{\star}$ galaxies with derived star formation rate (uncorrected for fibre losses and dust reddening) in the range of 0.5-20 ${\rm M_\odot\ yr^{-1}}$. Typically less than $\sim$ 3% of the Mg II systems with rest equivalent width, $W_{2796}$ $\ge$ 2 Å, show L$_{[O II]} \ge 0.3$ L$^{\star}_{[O II]}$. The detection rate is found to increase with increasing $W_{2796}$ and $z$. No significant correlation is found between $W_{2796}$ and L$_{[O II]}$ even when we restrict the samples to narrow $z$-ranges. A strong correlation is seen between L$_{[O II]}$ and $z$. While this is expected from the luminosity evolution of galaxies, we show finite fibre size plays a very crucial role in this correlation. The measured nebular line ratios (like [O III]/[O II] and [O III]/H$β$) and their $z$ evolution are consistent with those of galaxies detected in deep surveys. Based on the median stacked spectra, we infer the average metallicity (log Z $\sim$8.3), ionization parameter (log $q$ $\sim$7.5) and stellar mass (log (M/M$_\odot$)$\sim$9.3). The Mg II systems with nebular emission typically have $W_{2796}$ $\ge 2$ Å, Mg II doublet ratio close to 1 and W(Fe II$λ$2600)/$W_{2796}$ $\sim 0.5$ as often seen in damped Ly$α$ and 21-cm absorbers at these redshifts. This is the biggest reported sample of [O II] emission from Mg II absorbers at low impact parameters ideally suited for probing various feedback processes at play in $z\le 1$ galaxies.

Blue galaxies: modelling nebular He II emission in high redshift galaxies
利用宇宙学模拟来进行有用的、科学上相关的发射线预测是一个相对较新且发展迅速的领域。然而,星云发射线的建模特别具有挑战性,因为它们对局部光电离平衡非常敏感,这可以由空间分散的恒星分布在尘埃和气体的不均匀吸收介质中驱动。因此,在观测到的发射线图案中存在几个未建模的奥秘。例如,在低金属丰度矮星系的观测中,He II $λ4686$ /H $β$的比值为何会比模型预测的要高,这是一个疑问。由于流体动力学宇宙学模拟最适合这种质量和金属丰度制度,这个问题提出了一个很好的测试案例,一个强大的发射线建模管道的发展。在这项工作中描述的流水线可以模拟的过程中,产生高的He II $λ4686$ /H $β$的比率,并消除一些建模的差异,低于3%的比率不包括活动星系核,X射线双星,高质量双星,或头重脚轻的恒星初始质量函数。这些比率被发现是更敏感的存在下,15万年或更长的差距在恒星形成的历史比非凡的电离参数或特定的恒星形成率。这项工作也为下一代星云发射线建模研究指明了前进的道路。
