Descripción
We investigate the properties of circumgalactic gas in the halo of quasar (QSO) host galaxies from C IV absorption-line systems. We use the optical spectroscopy of closely aligned pairs of quasars (projected distance ≤ 200 kpc) obtained at the Gran Telescopio Canarias to investigate the distribution of the absorbing gas for a sample of 18 quasars at z ˜ 2. We have found that the detected absorption systems of EW ≥ 0.3 Å associated with the foreground QSOs are revealed up to 200 kpc from the centre of the host galaxy. The structure of the absorbing gas is patchy with a covering fraction of the gas that quickly decreases beyond 100 kpc. These results are in qualitative agreement with those found for the lower ionization metal Mg II λ2800 Å.

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO★

    GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characterized by other spectroscopic and photometric instruments. Previous literature studies provide several mass measurements for the three planets, however, with large variations
