These analyses have been carried out in the optical spectrum where there are suitable forbidden lines of common species. The rest-frame ultraviolet, while rich in strong resonance lines, is less suitable for abundance analyses but gives powerful clues to the geometrical configuration of ionized clouds and illuminating sources. The low z EELR show a remarkably uniform chemical composition around solar values (Robinson et al. 1987) which suggests a common origin for the extended gaseous haloes of powerful radio sources. It is important to carry out similar observations of the HzRG since their haloes may consist of relatively unprocessed material. Very extended Lyman-$\alpha$ haloes are known (van Ojik et al. ) at redshifts around 3. Althought the inner regions of these EELR appear disturbed by the radio jets, the outer part are quiescent. This is the abstract of a submitted paper on UV diagnostics by Villar-Martin, Binette \& Fosbury - just to give a flavour of the topic. In the powerful, high redshift radio galaxies, it is believed that the dominant source of ionization for the interstellar gas is the hard radiation field associated with the active nucleus. The photon sources is generally external to the clouds being ionized and so the geometrical perspective from which the gas is observed and the presence and distribution of dust must be properly accounted for in the diagnostic process. In this paper, we examine the formation of the three strong lines: CIV$\lambda$1549, Ly$\alpha$\ and CIII]$\lambda$1909 which are often observed in these sources. We find that the observed trends, in particular the high CIV$\lambda$1549/Ly$\alpha$ ratio, are often better explained by geometrical (viewing angle) effects than by the presence of large quantities of dust either within or outside the excited clouds. We show that neutral condensations along the line-of-sight, by refelecting photons near the wavelength of Ly$\alpha$, can increase the observed CIV/Ly$\alpha$ ratio. The existence of HI absorption clouds (i.e., mirrors) external to the emission region lead also to the prediction of large, diffuse haloes of what appears to be narrow Ly$\alpha$\ emission. } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Done with pages 2 and 3 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \newpage %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Page 4 % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Technical requirements % % Describe your observations in some technical detail % !!!! \observations{ This proposal will probably be combined with HzRG-e on Lyman alpha spectroscopy. } % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Which instruments are needed? % % Describe your observations in some technical detail (filters, % gratings, throughput, stability, etc.) % !!!! \techniques{ } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Done with page 4 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \newpage %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Page 5 % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Describe your required calibration to achieve the science goal % !!!! \calibration{ } % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Limitation of the current instrumentation of the VLT and % possible extensions of the observing program % % % Describe limitations of the current ESO instrumentation program % and possible extensions of the observational project % !!!! \limitations{ } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Done with page 5 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Done with the form %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \end{document} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Finis % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
