Description

The recent advent of high-throughput integral-field-unit spectrographs (IFS) has enabled unprecedented sensitivity in mapping low-density gas, opening new avenues for probing the dynamical states of the interstellar and circumgalactic medium (ISM and CGM). In this talk, I will present an investigation into turbulence and energy injection mechanisms in luminous quasar halos across redshifts 0.5
