Scientific paper

The study of quasar absorption lines has occupied substantial amounts of time on large-aperture telescopes in the last 20 years. The importance of the topic is reflected in its being an accepted Key Project for HST and a major scientific driver in proposals for 8-11 meter ground-based telescopes. A strong scientific motivation for a large-aperture telescope with high throughput and the capability for high-dispersion ultraviolet spectroscopy is to raise quasar absorption line studies to the level of determining the chemical and dynamical evolution of interstellar and halo gas with cosmic time.
