Uncertainties in the Determination of Primordial D/H
Songaila, Antoinette
Original · EN
The current status of high redshift D/H measurements is discussed. I first examine whether the observations of HS1937-1009 require a low value of D/H. It is shown that the LRIS measurements of the continuum break and the high resolution Lyman series data can easily be modelled with D/H in the range 5 x 10(-5) to 10(-4). I then discuss measurements on weaker Lyman limit systems. A statistical treatment of 10 partial Lyman limit systems favors D/H between 5 x 10(-5) and 2 x 10(-4).
