The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): Technical Overview

Guillermo A. Blanc, Niv Drory, Sebastián F. Sánchez +59

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is an ultra-wide integral field spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, and a sample of gala…

One H2 molecule per ten million H-atoms reveals sub-pc scale cold overdensities at z~4

P. Noterdaeme, S. Balashev, T. Berg +11

We present the detection and analysis of H2 absorption at z = 4.24 towards the bright quasar J0007-5705, observed with the Very Large Telescope as part of the ESPRESSO QUasar Absor…

The multiple coherence scales of C IV at cosmic noon

H. Cortés-Muñoz, S. Lopez, N. Tejos +6

The spatial and kinematic structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) remains poorly constrained observationally. In this article we compute the clustering of CIV absorption syste…

From the Intergalactic to the Interstellar Scales -- EQUALS: a High-resolution Legacy Survey of Gas in the Distant Universe Using ESPRESSO

Trystyn Berg, Valentina D'Odorico, Elisa Boera +14

Understanding how the Universe evolved from diffuse primordial gas into the rich cosmic web we observe today is one of the great challenges of modern astrophysics. Quasar absorptio…

Quasar radiation transforms the gas in a merging companion galaxy

Sergei Balashev, Pasquier Noterdaeme, Neeraj Gupta +7

Quasars, powered by gas accretion onto supermassive black holes, rank among the most energetic objects of the Universe. While they are thought to be ignited by galaxy mergers and a…

Exploring quasar evolution with proximate molecular absorbers: Insights from the kinematics of highly ionized nitrogen

R. Cuellar, P. Noterdaeme, S. Balashev +3

We investigate the presence and kinematics of NV absorption proximate to high redshift quasars selected upon the presence of strong and HI absorption at the quasar redshift…

Transverse clues on the kpc-scale structure of the circumgalactic medium as traced by C IV absorption

S. Lopez, A. Afruni, D. Zamora +13

We present VLT/MUSE integral-field spectroscopy () of four giant gravitational arcs exhibiting strong C IV absorption at 8 intervening redshifts, $z_{abs}\approx 2…
