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 ($R\approx 1800$) of four giant gravitational arcs exhibiting strong C IV absorption at 8 intervening redshifts, $z_{abs}\approx 2…
