3 I. Search for Ca II in the SDSS In an SDSS spectrum : Look Back Time, GYr Redshift HI Ly a CIV OVI MgII CaII.
4 Motivation Ca II λλ 3934,3969 ÅÅ gives access to the very low redshift Universe. It is a rare class of absorber under-utilized, under represented and under-studied. Strong Ca II systems preferentially reside in dense, dusty, neutral, metal-rich, molecular H 2 -bearing environments the reservoirs for SF (Wild & Hewett, 25, Wild et al 26, Wild et al 27, Nestor et al 28, Zych et al 27, Zych et al 29) Ca II absorber regions exhibit higher SFRs than other absorber regions (Zych et al 28, Zhu & Menard 213) Host galaxies as faint as ~.1L* can be studied with SDSS images
5 Search for Ca II in SDSS 1. SDSS DR9 spectroscopic QSOs brighter than i = z QSO >.1 3. Exclude BAL QSOs (Paris et al. 212, Shen et al. 211 ) 4. Searched a total of roughly 95, QSOs 5. Search excludes the Lyalpha forest Number QSO of Number QSOs QSO Redshift

16 Absorber Galaxy Connection 1. Find the average number density of galaxies around Ca II-absorbing QSOs from SDSS images as a function of angular distance, redshift and limiting magnitude 2. At z =.15, the limiting magnitude of SDSS corresponds to L ~.3L* 3. Background is determined from non-caii absorbing QSOs

19 Are all Ca II absorbers associated with moderately luminous, low-impact parameter galaxies? No.

23 Summary Conducted a search of Ca II λλ 3934,3969 AA doublet from ~ 95, quasars in SDSS DR9. Rest equivalent width distribution is fit very well by a double power-law model, with little or no evolution with redshift. The redshift number density is consistent with the no evolution curve at > 99%, and at least an order of magnitude smaller than Mg II. Very few Ca II absorbers are associated with bright, lowimpact parameter galaxies. In some cases, there is no evidence for plausible absorbing galaxies.
