Damped Lyman-alpha Absorbers from Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR16Q with Gaussian processes

Understand

We present a new catalogue of Damped Lyman-$\alpha$ absorbers from SDSS DR16Q, as well as new estimates of their statistical properties.

• Our estimates are computed with the Gaussian process models presented in Garnett et al.
• (2017); Ho et al.
• (2020) with an improved model for marginalising uncertainty in the mean optical depth of each quasar.
