This transition of neutral carbon is generally emitted in cold dense regions of atomic and molecular gas. One of the interesting features we observe is a filamentary structure that is ~100 kpc in projected length, is narrow, has a velocity gradient of ~600 km/s over its length, and appears to terminate in both projection and velocity at the extended emission in the immediate environment of the radio galaxy. Furthermore, I put this result in context of our previous and on-going work on detecting low surface brightness molecular gas in galaxy halos and proto-intracluster media at high redshifts and in understanding the physics underlying how such gas might arise in halos and streams.
