The H2 Glow of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud Observed with JWST

We report JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the H2 S(1) 17.04 micron transition in two regions in the boundary of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The two regions, denoted Edge (near the relatively sharp boundary of the 13CO J=1-0 emission) and Peak (the location of the strongest H2 emission observed with Spitzer), have average intensities of 14.5 MJy/sr and 32.1 MJy/sr, respectively. We find small scale structures of characteristic size 1.0 to 2.5 arcseconds, corresponding to 140 AU to 350 AU, with characteristic intensity above the extended background of 10 MJy/sr, corresponding to a J = 3 column density of 1.6x1017/cm2. The most plausible explanation for the observed intensities from level 845 K above the J = 1 ortho-H2 ground state level is excitation by collisions with H2 molecules (the hydrogen in this region being predominantly molecular). Two mechanisms, turbulent dissipation and shocks, have been proposed for heating of localized regions of the ISM to temperatures ~1000 K to explain abundances of and emission from particular molecules. While we cannot determine unique values of density and kinetic temperature, the solutions in best agreement with predictions of shock models are H2 density = 370 /cm3 and kinetic temperature = 1000 K. The total H2 column density of the small-scale structures under these conditions is ~8x1017/cm2. This first direct detection of heated tiny scale structure in the quiescent molecular interstellar medium has significant implications for the physical structure of this phase of the ISM and maintaining supersonic motions within it.

Physical Properties and HI-to-H2 Transition Across Taurus Linear Edge

Studying the atomic-to-molecular transition is essential for understanding the evolution of interstellar medium. The linear edge of Taurus molecular cloud, clearly identified in the $^{13}$CO(1-0) intensity map, serves as an ideal site for investigating this transition. Utilizing the Arizona Radio Observatory Sub-Millimeter Telescope, we obtained mapping observations of CO(2-1), $^{13}$CO(2-1), and CO(3-2) across this linear edge. The intensity ratio between CO(2-1) and $^{13}$CO(2-1) indicates a lower limit of the $^{12}C/^{13}C$ ratio of $54\pm 17$. Based on multi-transition observations of CO and $^{13}$CO, we performed Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) fit of the physical properties across this edge using non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium analysis with the RADEX code, based on the Large velocity Gradient (LVG) assumption. The number density profile exhibits a pronounced jump coinciding with the H$_2$ infrared emission peak. The cold HI gas within the molecular cloud, manifested as HI-Narrow Self-Absorption (HINSA) features, is detected along the cloud edge. Our quantitative comparison with numerical simulations provides tentative evidence that shocks induced by colliding gas flows may contribute to the atomic-to-molecular phase transition observed along the linear edge.

Imprints of Stellar Feedback on Magnetic Fields in the Iris Nebula NGC 7023

We present 850 $μ$m polarized continuum observations carried out with the POL-2 polarimeter mounted on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) towards NGC 7023 located in the Cepheus Flare region. NGC 7023 is a reflection nebula powered by a Herbig Ae Be star HD 200775 and also identified as a hub in the hub-filament cloud, LDN 1172/1174. We detect submillimetre emission well towards the northern (identified as C1) and the eastern region of the reflection nebula. We investigated the polarization structure and the magnetic field (B-field) morphology, which is found to be curved and follows the clump morphology. The comparison of the B-field morphology at the clump scales ($\sim$0.02 pc) with that of the envelope ($\sim$0.5 pc) suggests that the field lines are not preserved from envelope to clump scales, implying that an external factor may be responsible for disturbing the B-field structure. We estimated a magnetic field strength of 179$\pm$50 $μ$G in the starless core, 121$\pm$34 $μ$G in the protostellar core with a class I source and 150$\pm$42 $μ$G in the protostellar core with a class II source using the $N_{2}H^{+}$ (1-0) line observed with 13.7 m single dish radio telescope at Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO). The stability analysis using these B-field strengths gives magnetically sub-critical values, while the magnetic, gravitational, and outflow kinetic energies are roughly balanced. We also suggest that the reordering of the magnetic field lines could be due to the interaction with the already evolved high-velocity outflow gas around the central star, which hints at the presence of outflow feedback.

Simultaneous multi-wavelength observations of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 20190520B with Swift and FAST

Among several dozen known repeating Fast radio bursts (FRBs), those precisely localized offer the best opportunities to explore their multi-wavelength counterparts, which are key to uncovering their origins. Here we report our X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), and optical observations with the $Swift$ satellite of the repeating FRB 20190520B, in coordination with simultaneous radio observations with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Our aim was to detect potentially associated multi-wavelength bursts and identify any persistent multi-wavelength counterpart to the associated persistent radio source (PRS). While a total of 10 radio bursts were detected by FAST during the $Swift$ observations, we detected no X-ray, UV, or optical bursts in accompany with the radio bursts. We obtained the energy upper limits ($3σ$) on any multi-wavelength bursts as follows: $5.03 \times 10^{47}$ erg in the hard X-ray band (15--150 keV), $7.98 \times 10^{45}$ erg in the soft X-ray band (0.3--10 keV), and $4.51 \times 10^{44}$ erg in the U band (3465Å), respectively. The energy ratio between soft X-ray (0.3--10 keV) and radio emission of the bursts is constrained as $<6\times10^{7}$, and the ratio between optical (U band) and radio as $<1.19\times10^{6}$. We detect no multi-wavelength counterpart to the PRS. The 3$σ$ luminosity upper limits are 1.04$\times10^{47}$ (15--150 keV), 8.81$\times10^{42}$ (0.3--10 keV), 9.26$\times10^{42}$ (UVW1), and 2.54$\times10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (U), respectively. We show that the PRS is much more radio loud than representative pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, extended jets of Galactic X-ray binaries, and ultraluminous X-ray sources, suggestive of boosted radio emission of the PRS.

Ring or no ring -- Revisiting the Multiphase Nuclear Environment in M31

Nuclear rings, prevalent in barred galaxies, are essential to understanding gas transport toward galactic nuclei. However, the peculiar nuclear ring in our neighboring galaxy M31 remains poorly understood. Here we present a comprehensive study of this multiphase gas structure, originally revealed by its dust emission, based on newly acquired CO mappings and archival spectroscopic imaging of atomic hydrogen and warm ionized gas, along with custom numerical simulations. These multi-wavelength data offer an unprecedented view of the surface mass density and kinematics of the nuclear ring, challenging the notion of it being a single coherent structure. In particular, the ring shows significant asymmetry in its azimuthal mass distribution, with neutral gas concentrated in the northeast and ionized gas prominent in the southwest. The observed off-centered and lopsided morphology disfavors an interpretation of gas streamers or resonance rings driven solely by a barred potential known to exist in M31. Furthermore, the ring's line-of-sight velocity distribution suggests circular motion in a plane inclined by $\sim 30^\circ$ relative to M31's outer disk, implying external torque likely from M32's recent close-in passage. Our hydrodynamical simulations tracking the evolution of nuclear gas of M31 influenced by both a barred potential and an oblique collision with M32, reveal the natural formation of asymmetric spiral arms several hundred Myr after the collision, which could appear ring-like under appropriate viewing angles. Therefore, we suggest that M31's nuclear gas structure, instead of being a persisting rotating ring, comprises recently formed, asymmetric spirals with a substantial tilt.

The HASHTAG project II. Giant molecular cloud properties across the M31 disc

We present a study of giant molecular cloud (GMC) properties in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) using CO(3-2) data from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in selected regions across the disc and in the nuclear ring, and comparing them with CO(1-0) observations from the IRAM 30m telescope in the same regions. We find that GMCs in the centre of M31 generally exhibit larger velocity dispersions ($σ$) and sizes ($R$) compared to those in the disc, while their average surface density ($Σ$) and turbulent pressure ($P_{\rm turb}$) are lower. This low turbulent pressure in the central region is primarily due to the low density of molecular gas. The estimated GMC properties depend on the choice of CO transitions. Compared to CO(1-0), CO(3-2) exhibits smaller velocity dispersion and equivalent radius but higher surface density. These differences highlight the distinct physical conditions probed by different molecular gas tracers. We estimate the virial parameter $α_{\rm vir}\propto σ^2 R/Σ$ and find that most molecular clouds exhibit high values ($α_{\rm vir} \sim 4-6$) for both CO transitions, indicating that they are unbound. Furthermore, clouds in the nuclear ring display even larger $α_{\rm vir}$ values of $\lesssim 100$, suggesting that they may be highly dynamic, short-lived structures, although they could potentially achieve equilibrium under the external pressure exerted by the surrounding interstellar medium.

Metallicity dependence of the CO-to-H$_2$ and the [CI]-to-H$_2$ conversion factors in galaxies

Understanding the molecular gas content in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial for studying star formation and galaxy evolution. The CO-to-H$_2$ ($X_{\rm CO}$) and the [CI]-to-H$_2$ ($X_{\rm CI}$) conversion factors are widely used to estimate the molecular mass content in galaxies. However, these factors depend on many ISM environmental parameters. This work investigates the dependence of $X_{\rm CO}$ and $X_{\rm CI}$ on these parameters, with a focus on the low-metallicity $α$-enhanced ISM ($\rm [C/O]<0$), to provide improved tracers of molecular gas in diverse conditions. We used the PDFchem algorithm, coupled with a database of 3D-PDR models. These account for a wide range of metallicities, dust-to-gas mass ratios, FUV intensities, and cosmic-ray ionization rates. The conversion factors were computed by integrating the PDR properties over log-normal column density distributions ($A_{\rm V}$-PDFs) representing various cloud types. The $X_{\rm CO}$ factor increases significantly with decreasing metallicity, exceeding $\sim\!\!1000$ times the Galactic value at ${\rm [O/H] = -1.0}$ under $α$-enhanced conditions, as opposed to $\sim\!\!300$ times under non-$α$-enhanced conditions (${\rm [C/O]=0}$). In contrast, $X_{\rm CI}$ shows a more gradual variation with metallicity, making it a more reliable tracer of molecular gas in metal-poor environments under most conditions. The fraction of `CO-dark' molecular gas increases dramatically in low-metallicity regions, exceeding 90\% at ${\rm [O/H] = -1.0}$, particularly in diffuse clouds and environments with strong FUV radiation fields. We recommend the use of the $\log_{10}X_{\rm CO}\simeq-2.41Z+41.3$ relation for the CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor, and the $\log_{10}X_{\rm CI}\simeq-0.99Z+29.7$ relation for the [CI]-to-H$_2$, where $Z=12+\log_{10}({\rm O/H})$.

EgoSplat: Open-Vocabulary Egocentric Scene Understanding with Language Embedded 3D Gaussian Splatting

Egocentric scenes exhibit frequent occlusions, varied viewpoints, and dynamic interactions compared to typical scene understanding tasks. Occlusions and varied viewpoints can lead to multi-view semantic inconsistencies, while dynamic objects may act as transient distractors, introducing artifacts into semantic feature modeling. To address these challenges, we propose EgoSplat, a language-embedded 3D Gaussian Splatting framework for open-vocabulary egocentric scene understanding. A multi-view consistent instance feature aggregation method is designed to leverage the segmentation and tracking capabilities of SAM2 to selectively aggregate complementary features across views for each instance, ensuring precise semantic representation of scenes. Additionally, an instance-aware spatial-temporal transient prediction module is constructed to improve spatial integrity and temporal continuity in predictions by incorporating spatial-temporal associations across multi-view instances, effectively reducing artifacts in the semantic reconstruction of egocentric scenes. EgoSplat achieves state-of-the-art performance in both localization and segmentation tasks on two datasets, outperforming existing methods with a 8.2% improvement in localization accuracy and a 3.7% improvement in segmentation mIoU on the ADT dataset, and setting a new benchmark in open-vocabulary egocentric scene understanding. The code will be made publicly available.

Tiny-Scale Properties within the Interstellar Medium towards PSR J1644$-$4559: I. Observational Evidence of Turbulence-induced Tiny Scale Atomic Structures

We investigated HI absorption toward a single pulsar, PSR J1644$-$4559, and its variability over timescales from days to years, using Murriyang, CSIRO's Parkes Radio Telescope. Our 19 epochs of spectral observations, spanning 1.2 years with intervals as short as 1 day, provide the most comprehensive cadence coverage for monitoring HI absorption to date. We identified two significant detections of tiny-scale atomic structure (TSAS) with spatial scales ranging from a lower limit of $\sim$11 au to an upper limit of 165 au, both exhibiting integrated signal-to-noise ratios exceeding 5.0. We find a relationship between linear size and optical depth variation in the cold neutral medium (CNM) component hosting the TSAS, described by a power-law relationship, $Δτ_{\rm int} = Δτ_0 (ΔL)^{(α-2)/2}$, with $α= 4.1 \pm 0.4$. This is the first observational evidence explicitly connecting TSAS to turbulence in CNM. This power-law index is significantly steeper than previously reported values for the CNM, where $α$ ranges from 2.3 to 2.9, but similar to those observed in the warm ionized gas. Additionally, we observe no significant variation in $α$ across the entire range of spatial scales traced in our study, indicating that turbulence may be cascading down and dissipating at smaller scales. While there is no precise proper motion measurement for this pulsar, our estimates for the turbulence dissipation in the CNM place the lower and upper limits at less than 0.03 au and 0.4 au, respectively.

Probing Globular Cluster with MeerKAT and FAST: A Pulsar Polarization Census

Only one globular cluster (GC), 47 Tuc, has been found to contain intracluster medium, with an electron density 100 times higher than that of the ISM in its vicinity. The characteristics of this intracluster medium are closely related to GC evolution and the compact objects within. However, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the ionized gas content of GCs, particularly in Galactic halo clusters. We carried out a polarization census of GC pulsars using MeerKAT and FAST. This first combined effort of observations from these two major radio telescopes resulted in high signal-to-noise ratio, full polarization pulse profiles for 43 pulsars in 8 GCs, doubling the number of rotation measures (RMs) known in these clusters. The accuracy of dispersion measures (DMs) was improved by a factor of 8 compared to previous publications. No intracluster medium was found, and at least two halo GCs showed more stringent upper limits on electron density than that detected in 47 Tuc. The surprising barrenness of GCs suggests effective gas removal mechanisms, such as strong winds from millisecond pulsars and/or ionizing radiation from post-AGB stars and young white dwarfs.

The critical role of dark matter halos in driving star formation

Understanding the physical mechanisms that drive star formation is crucial for advancing our knowledge of galaxy evolution. We explore the interrelationships between key galaxy properties associated with star formation, with a particular focus on the impact of dark matter halos. Given the sensitivity of atomic hydrogen (HI) to external processes, we concentrate exclusively on central spiral galaxies. We find that the molecular-to-atomic gas mass ratio ($M_{\rm H_2}/M_{\rm HI}$) strongly depends on stellar mass and specific star formation rate (sSFR). In the star formation efficiency (SFE)-sSFR plane, most galaxies fall below the H$_2$ fundamental formation relation (FFR), with SFE$_{\rm HI}$ being consistently lower than SFE$_{\rm H_2}$. Using the improved halo masses derived by Zhao et al. (2025), for star-forming galaxies, both SFE$_{\rm HI}$ and $M_{\rm H_2}/M_{\rm HI}$ increase rapidly and monotonically with halo mass, indicating a higher efficiency in converting HI to H$_2$ in more massive halos. This trend ultimately leads to the unsustainable state where SFE$_{\rm HI}$ exceeds SFE$_{\rm H_2}$ at halo mass around $10^{12} \hbox{$M_{\odot}$}$. For halos with masses exceeding $10^{12} \hbox{$M_{\odot}$}$, galaxies predominantly experience quenching. We propose a plausible evolutionary scenario in which the growth of halo mass regulates the conversion of HI to H$_2$, star formation, and the eventual quenching of galaxies. The disk size, primarily regulated by the mass, spin and concentration of the dark matter halo, also significantly influences HI to H$_2$ conversion and star formation. These findings underscore the critical role of dark matter halos as a global regulator of galaxy-wide star formation, a key factor that has been largely underappreciated in previous studies.

Discovery of 15 new pulsars at high Galactic Latitudes with FAST

We present the discovery and timing results of 15 pulsars discovered in a high Galactic latitude survey conducted with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST). The survey targeted a region as close as possible to the Galactic Center, encompassing an area near the Galactic Bulge. The newly discovered pulsars consist of eleven normal pulsars and four millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Among the MSPs, three are identified in binary systems with orbital periods of ~3.1, 4.6 and 12.5 days, respectively. We have successfully obtained coherent timing solutions for three of the normal pulsars (PSRs J1745-0059, J1746-0156 and J1800-0059). Furthermore, within our data set we found that four pulsars (three new and one known) show mode-changing and/or subpulse drifting phenomena. Comparing our discoveries with simulations of the Galactic disk and Bulge MSP populations indicates that these new pulsars are most likely located in the disk. Nonetheless, our discoveries demonstrate that deep surveys at high Galactic latitudes have significant potential to enhance our understanding of the MSP population in the direction of the Bulge.

The Host Galaxy of FRB 20190520B and Its Unique Ionized Gas Distribution

The properties of host galaxies associated with Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) provide critical information for inferring the progenitors and radiation mechanisms of these bursts. We report on the host galaxy of the repeating FRB 20190520B, a dwarf galaxy at the spectroscopic redshift $z=0.241$ with a stellar mass of $(6.2 \pm 0.8) \times 10^8 \ M_{\odot}$. The emission line ratios suggest that the ionized gas is powered by star formation. The total H$α$-traced star formation rate (SFR) is $0.70 \pm 0.01 \ {M_{\odot} ~ \rm yr^{-1}}$, and the metallicity is $\rm 12+log_{10} ([O/H]) \geq 7.4 \pm 0.1$. The specific star formation rate (sSFR) is $\rm log \ sSFR/yr^{-1} = -9.0 \pm 0.1$, higher than the upper limit of $-9.4$ observed in nearby dwarf galaxies. The dispersion measure contribution from the host galaxy is estimated to be $\rm DM_{host} \approx 950 \pm 220 \ pc \ cm^{-3}$, based on the H$α$ emission. The FRB and the associated persistent radio source are located at the H$α$ emission peak, offset by $\sim 1.4^{\prime\prime}$ (5.5 kpc) in projection from the stellar continuum. At this position, the lower limit of $\rm \log \ sSFR/yr^{-1}$ is $-8.5 \pm 0.1$, more than three times the galaxy's total sSFR. The H$α$ velocity difference between the stellar continuum and the offset gas is $39.6 \pm 0.4$ km s$^{-1}$, which is sufficient to draw conclusions about the nature of the offset.

Bias-corrected Fast Radio Bursts Population and Spectra Using CHIME Injection Data

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), a class of millisecond-scale, highly energetic phenomena with unknown progenitors and radiation mechanisms, require proper statistical analysis as a key method for uncovering their mysteries. In this research, we build upon the bias correction method using pulse injections for the first CHIME/FRB catalog, to include correlations between properties, and to analyze the FRB population spectrum. This model includes six FRB properties: dispersion measure (DM), pulse width, scattering timescale, spectral index, spectral running, and fluence. By applying the multidimensional weight function calculated by the model, we update the corrected distributions, suggesting that more low-DM, short and long-width, and short-scattering timescale events may exist. Using one-off events and the first bursts from repeaters, the derived intrinsic population spectrum has a best-fit power-law of $F(ν)\proptoν^α$, where $α=-2.29\pm0.29$. This confirms previous indications that FRBs are brighter or more numerous at low frequencies. Analysing non-repeaters only, we find $α=-2.50\pm0.43$, while including all bursts from repeaters produces $α=-1.91\pm0.20$. This hints that active repeaters, low-rate repeaters, and non-repeaters may have different progenitors, mechanisms, or evolutionary stage.

The Host Galaxy of the Hyperactive Repeating FRB 20240114A: Behind a Galaxy Cluster

We report on the optical spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy of the hyperactive repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20240114A. The host galaxy is a dwarf galaxy at a redshift of $z=0.1306\pm0.0002$. With a rest-frame coverage of 4300-7900 Å, we have detected H$\rmα$, H$\rmβ$, [O III]$λλ$4959,5007, [N II]$λλ$6548,6583, and [S II]$λ$6716 emission lines. The emission line ratios suggest that the ionization in the host galaxy is dominated by star formation. The star formation rate (SFR) derived from the H$\rmα$ emission line is $(0.06 \pm 0.01) \ \rm{M_{\odot} \ yr^{-1}}$, and the SED fitting suggests the lower limit of the SFR(UV) is $0.09 \ \rm{M_{\odot} \ yr^{-1}}$. The stellar mass is $(\rm 4.0 \pm 1.8) \times 10^8 \ M_{\odot}$, making the specific star formation rate $\rm log \ sSFR(H\rm α) = -9.8 \pm 0.2 \ yr^{-1}$. The line ratios indicate an upper limit of a metallicity of $\rm 12+log_{10} ([O/H]) \sim 8.5$. As the nearest dwarf host galaxy with a repeating FRB, the activity of FRB 20240114A and the properties of this host galaxy closely resemble those of FRB 20121102A and FRB 20190520B. The H$\rmα$-traced dispersion measure (DM) provided by the ionized gas of the host galaxy has a moderate contribution of $\sim 200 \rm \ pc \ cm^{-3}$, assuming a warm ionized gas. We found that the distributions of the stellar mass versus SFR are significantly different between repeating and one-off FRBs, as determined by the MANOVA test with $p=0.0116$.

Constraints on the fractional changes of the fundamental constants at a look-back time of 2.5 Myrs

The quantum nature of gravity remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, with many unified theories predicting variations in fundamental constants across space and time. Here we present precise measurements of these variations at galactic dynamical timescales - a critical but previously unexplored regime. Using simultaneous observations of H \textsc{i} and OH lines in M31, we probe potential variations of fundamental constants at a lookback time of 2.5 million years. We obtained $Δ(μα^2g_p^{0.64})/(μα^2g_p^{0.64}) < 3.6 \times 10^{-6}$, with complementary constraints on $Δ(μα^2)/(μα^2) < 4.6 \times 10^{-3}$, and $Δg_p/g_p < 7.2 \times 10^{-3}$, where $α$ is the fine structure constant, $μ$ is the proton-electron mass ratio, and $g_p$ is the proton $g$-factor. These results bridge the gap between laboratory tests and cosmological observations, providing unique insights into the coupling between local dynamics and fundamental physics. Our findings challenge theories predicting significant variations over galactic timescales, while demonstrating a powerful new probe of quantum gravity models.

The FAST HI 21-cm absorption blind survey. II. -- Statistic Exploration for Associated and Intervening systems

We present an extragalactic HI 21-cm absorption lines catalog from a blind search at z $\leqslant$ 0.35, using drift-scan data collected in 1325.6 hours by the ongoing Commensal Radio Astronomy FasT Survey (CRAFTS) and FAST All Sky HI Survey (FASHI), which spans a sky area of 6072.0 deg$^{2}$ and covers 84533 radio sources with a flux density greater than 12 mJy. 14 previously identified HI absorbers and 20 newly discovered HI absorbers were detected, comprising 15 associated systems, 10 intervening systems, and 9 systems with undetermined classifications. Through spectral stacking, the mean peak optical path, mean velocity-integrated optical path, mean FWHM and mean HI column density are measured to be 0.47 and 0.30; 27.19 and 4.36 km s$^{-1}$; 42.61 and 9.33 km s$^{-1}$; 0.49 and 0.08 T$_{s} \times$ 10$^{20}$cm$^{-2}$K$^{-1}$, for the associated and intervening samples, respectively. Statistical analysis also reveals that associated systems tend to be hosted by red ($g-r>$0.7) galaxies at lower redshifts, whereas galaxies hosting intervening HI absorption are typically found at higher redshifts and are of a bluer ($g-r\leqslant$0.7) type. A noticeable difference is observed in the positions of foregrounds, backgrounds of intervening systems, and high-redshift and low-redshift associated systems on the WISE color-color diagram. All identified foreground sources in our sample have W1-W2 magnitudes below 0.8, suggesting no Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). In contrast, backgrounds of intervening systems tend to have W1-W2 magnitudes above 0.8, indicating AGN presence. For associated absorption, most low-redshift ($z\leqslant$0.5) systems show W1-W2 values below 0.8, while higher-redshift associated absorption ($z>$0.5) displays a broader range of W1-W2 values.
