Abstract: (Cambridge University Press)
I report on observations of the z=t 0.01 dwarf galaxy SBS1543+593 which is projected onto the background QSO HS1543+5921. As a star-forming galaxy first noted in emission, this dwarf is playing a pivotal role in our understanding of high-redshift galaxy populations, because it also gives rise to a Damped Lyman Alpha system. This enabled us to analyze, for the first time, the chemical abundance of QSO projections culled from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is provided to stimulate future work.- line: formation
