Neutral and molecular absorbers in the environment of quasars: feedback in action?
 
 

Absorption spectroscopy towards quasars has proven to be an excellent way to probe neutral and molecular gas along the line of sight. While many studies have concentrated on intervening systems, i.e. far from the background source, I will show recent results concerning gas much closer to the quasar, potentially affected by the source and providing constraints on the co-evolution of the active nucleus and its host galaxy.
