MgII Absorbers: Disks, Halos, Satellites, and Pairs?
Jane C. Charlton, Christopher W. Churchill
To understand which parts of galaxies give rise to the variety of observed MgII absorption profiles seen in QSO spectra, we have embarked upon a program to generate simulated absor…
QSO Absorption Line Systems as a Probe of Galaxies Like the Milky Way
Jane C. Charlton, Christopher W. Churchill
Quasar absorption lines provide detailed information on the chemical, kinematic, and ionization conditions in galaxies and their environments, and provide a means for studying the…
MgII Absorbers: Halos or Disks?
Jane C. Charlton, Christopher W. Churchill
We challenge the conventional view that the majority of MgII/Lyman limit absorbers are extended halos of galaxies comprised of ``clouds'' with near-unity covering factor. The gaseo…
