Ultraviolet Background Absorption Features

Ultraviolet Background Absorption Features is a spectral signature arising from the selective attenuation of ultraviolet background radiation by intervening intergalactic or circumgalactic matter, distinguished by its characteristic wavelength-dependent dips that encode the composition, density, and ionization state of absorbing media in the large-scale structure of the universe.
