Abstract

Absorption lines at the redshifts of cosmic voids in Perseus-Pisces and Bootes have been detected in the ultraviolet spectra of background quasars. The detection of metal lines suggests chemical enrichment of gas in the voids in support of explosion dominated model of formation of galaxies (Ostriker and Cowie, 1981).
