The rise of the C IV mass density at z (2009)
D'Odorico, Valentina, Calura, Francesco, Cristiani, Stefano, Viel, Matteo
The cosmic evolution of the metal content of the intergalactic medium puts stringent constraints on the properties of galactic outflows and on the nature of UV background. In this paper, we present a...

The contribution of UVES@VLT to the new era of QSO absorption line studies (2007)
D'Odorico, Valentina, Dessauges-Zavadsky, Miroslava
We briefly review the main results obtained in the field of QSO absorption line studies with the UVES high resolution spectrograph mounted on the Kueyen unit of the ESO Very Large Telescope (Paranal,...
CODEX/ESPRESSO: the era of precision spectroscopy (2007)
D'Odorico, Valentina, Team, For The CODEX/ESPRESSO
CODEX is a high resolution spectrograph for the European ELT. CODEX is conceived to reach the highest precision and stability, allowing the execution of programs spanning many years. Several...
We present the observations of a weak MgII absorption system detected at z~0.452 in the UVES high resolution spectrum of the QSO HE0001-2340. The weaker of the two MgII components forming the system...

We determined C, N and alpha-element relative abundances in the gas surrounding six QSOs at an average redshift of < z > ~ 2.4, by studying six narrow associated absorption systems in UVES...
D'Odorico, Valentina, Molaro, Paolo
The Damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorber at redshift z_abs=4.383 observed toward QSO BRI 1202-0725 is studied by means of high resolution (FWHM ~ 7 km/s) VLT-UVES spectra. We refine a previously determined...
Ar I as a tracer of ionization evolution (2003)
Vladilo, Giovanni, Centurion, Miriam, D'Odorico, Valentina, Peroux, Celine
We present a study of Ar abundances in 15 damped Ly alpha systems (DLAs) in the redshift interval from 2.3 to 3.4. The sample includes 4 new UVES/VLT measurements of Ar I column densities. The...
