Measure a) Red peak FWHM b) Peak separation c) Peak height ratio d) Peak flux ratio 5. Calculate number of std. dev.sbetween synthetic and observed spectra 6. Identify best fitting model and those for which all four fitting parameters fall within 1σ

  16. Results Best-fitting models give: Vout= 160 km s-1 log(NHI/cm-2) = 20.23 Ncl= 2±1

  17. Results Best-fitting models give: Vout= 160 km s-1 log(NHI/cm-2) = 20.23 Ncl= 2±1

  18. Conclusion • Fitting Lya lines requires information about several parameters. A simple spectrum isn’t really enough.
