Wotta The Metallicity Distribution of the Circumgalactic Medium of Galaxies at z < 1 1904 .txt text/plain 483 15 50 As part of this work, we develop a new method to robustly derive the metallicity of ionized gas using only low-resolution spectra of H I and Mg II (Chapter 2); this significantly reduces the observational cost of such studies by a factor ~10. This dissertation is composed of two related projects focused on assessing the metallicity distribution of circumgalactic gas at low redshift. cache/jq085h76n6c.txt txt/jq085h76n6c.txt
