Query: Damped Ly-alpha Systems in Semi-Analytic Models: Sensitivity to
  dynamics, disk properties, and cosmology   Previously we have shown that it is possible to account for the kinematic
properties of damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAS) in the context of semi-analytic
models. In these models, hierarchical structure formation is approximated by
constructing a merger tree for each dark matter halo. A natural consequence is
that every virialized halo may contain not only a central galaxy, but also a
number of satellite galaxies as determined by its merging history. Thus the
kinematics of the DLAS arise from the combined effects of the internal rotation
of gas disks and the motions between gas disks within a common halo. Here we
investigate the sensitivity of this model to some of the assumptions made
previously, including the modeling of satellite dynamics, the scale height of
the gas, and the cosmology.
