We consistently find that at all levels of p there is one or multiple models that reconstruct the images with a mean RMSE of less than 0. 03K, i. e. lower than the estimated sensor error of VIIRS data.

We present new high-resolution (R~14, 000) spectra of the two brightest HeII-transparent quasars in the far-UV (FUV) at z>3. 5, HE2QSJ2311-1417 (z=3. 70) and HE2QSJ1630+0435 (z=3. 81), obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Chittidi et al (2020) perform a detailed analysis of the ultraviolet and optical emission of the host galaxy and estimate the host DM contribution to be $110\pm 37$ $pc/cm^3$.

We calculate covering fractions of $f_{CaII}$ = 63%, $f_{NaI}$ = 26%, and $f_{HI}$ = 52%, consistent with a picture of the CGM that includes multi-phase clouds containing small clumps of cool gas within hotter, more diffuse gas.

Our non-detections place a limit on the covering factor of such optically-thick gas around M31 to $f_c < 0. 051$ (at 90\% confidence) for $\rho \leq R_{\rm vir}$.
