Emission line flux limits in four QSO metal line absorbers

• In an effort to detect the early phases of star formation in massive galaxies, we have searched for Ly alpha and [O II]lambda 3727 emission from four QSO metal absorption line systems and possible associated galaxies, using narrow-band filters. None of th
