The First Detection of Cobalt in a Damped Lyman Alpha System
We present the first ever detection of Cobalt in a Damped Lyman Alpha system (DLA) at z ~ 2. In addition to providing important clues to the star formation history of these high redshift galaxies, we discuss how ...

Constraining Variationsin the Fine-Structure Constant, Quark Massesand the Strong Interaction
We present evidence for variations in the fine-structure constant from Keck/HIRES spectra of 143 quasar absorption systems over the redshift range 0.2 < zabs < 4.2. This includes 15 new systems, mostly at high-z ...

The Need for Ultraviolet to Understand the Chemical Evolution of the Universe, and Cosmology
We identify an important set of key areas where an advanced observational Ultraviolet capability would have major impact on studies of cosmology and Galaxy formation in the young Universe. Most of these are as...

Baryons: What,When and Where?
We review the current state of empirical knowledge of the total budget of baryonic matter in the Universe as observed since the epoch of reionization. Our summary examines on three milestone redshifts since th...
