• Four Quasars above Redshift 6 Discovered by the Canada-France High-z Quasar Survey (2007, result): “This value of dN/dz is three times greater than the results from MgII absorption studies atz ∼ 2 which give dN/dz = 0.40±0.05 for wrest(2796)> 1 Å systems (Nestor et al. 2005; Prochter et al. 2006).”
• SPECTROSCOPY OF THE LARGEST EVER γ-RAY-SELECTED BL LAC SAMPLE (2013, methodology): “In saturated absorptions, the ratio is 1:1 (Nestor et al. 2005; Michalitsianos et al. 1988).”
• Damped Lyα Systems at z < 1.65: The Expanded Sloan Digital Sky Survey Hubble Space Telescope Sample (2006, methodology): “Nestor (2004) used SDSS EDR quasar spectra to search for Mg ii systems with the aim of quantifying the statistical properties of a large Mg ii sample (Nestor et al. 2005, hereafter NTR05) and to conduct follow-up work to search for DLAs.”
• THE RADIAL AND AZIMUTHAL PROFILES OF Mg ii ABSORPTION AROUND 0.5 < z < 0.9 zCOSMOS GALAXIES OF DIFFERENT COLORS, MASSES, AND ENVIRONMENTS (2011, background): “…the kinmatic signatures (see e.g. Lanzetta et al. 1987; Sargent et al. 1988; Petitjean & Bergeron 1990; Steidel & Sargent 1992; Charlton & Churchill 1998; Nestor et al. 2005; Prochter et al. 2006) and have also extended to the detection of magnetic fields associated with them (Bernet et al. 2008).”
