Molecular gas hidden in plain sight in the early Universe
Pasquier Noterdaeme, Jens-Kristian Krogager, Sergei Balashev
We report the discovery of an extreme intervening molecular absorber at zabs = 4.1 towards the z = 4.7 quasar SDSS J080023.02+305101.22 revealed through strong H2 absorption that h…
Tracing Cold Gas in Absorption Across Cosmic Time with the SKA
Elizabeth K. Mahony, Neeraj Gupta, Sergei A. Balashev +12
Observing the 21-cm HI line in absorption provides a powerful means of tracing the cold neutral gas in normal and active galaxies across cosmic time. The frequency coverage and sen…
Towards a measurement of the primordial helium isotope ratio
Ryan J. Cooke, James W. Johnson, Pasquier Noterdaeme +4
We report the discovery of two metastable neutral helium (He I*) absorbers in the Milky Way, and use the upgraded CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph on the Very Large Telescop…
HI 21-cm absorption in low- and high-excitation radio-loud AGNs at from MALS
P. P. Deka, N. Gupta, J-. K. Krogager +5
We present results from a search of cold neutral gas associated with radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at using HI 21-cm absorption measurements from the MeerKAT A…
Unveiling large-scale rotational motions in the intragroup medium at z~1 through gravitational-arc tomography
Cédric Ledoux, Fernanda Muñoz-Olivares, L. Felipe Barrientos +8
We present the first spatially resolved characterisation of the cool intragroup medium (IGrM) in a spectroscopically confirmed galaxy group at z=1.167. Using 30 independent sightli…
A z1 galactic-scale outflow transversally mapped to 50 kpc through gravitational-arc tomography
J. A. Hernández-Guajardo, L. F. Barrientos, S. López +12
We report spatially resolved measurements of cool gas traced by Mg II and Fe II absorption in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of a star-forming galaxy at (G1). The fortuit…
