Abstract
Deep galaxy redshift surveys in the field around sight lines that probe OVI absorbers is a powerful method to investigate the nature of these absorbers and their correlation with galaxies. Here we present preliminary results of a study of fields observed with the Gemini/GMOS spectrograph centred on three low redshift QSOs known to probe a variety of OVI systems. Notably, some OVI absorbers appear to be associated with isolated, individual galaxies. Others are clearly found within large-scale structures but at substantial distances from any individual galaxy.
