The $z=0.558$ absorption system towards PKS 0118-272: A candidate Damped Ly $\alpha$ system at low redshift

G. Vladilo, M. Centurion, R. Falomo +1

We present a spectroscopic and imaging study of the z=0.558 MgII absorption system towards the BL Lac PKS 0118-272. At the absorber redshift we detect lines of the low ionization s…
