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…
Establishing the Connections Between Galaxies and Mg II Absorbing Gas
Christopher W. Churchill
HIRES/Keck spectra of Mg II (2796) absorption arising in the "halos" of 15 identified 0.4 < z < 0.9 galaxies are presented. Comparison of the galaxy and absorbing gas properties re…
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…
The Halo from the Outside In: QSO Absorption Lines
Christopher W. Churchill, Steven S. Vogt
Studies of high resolution quasar absorption lines (QALs), arising from gas in local and z < 1.5 galaxies, provide direct probes of the kinematic, chemical, and ionization conditio…
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…
