The Nature and Evolution of Absorption-Selected Galaxies
read the original abstract
We present results of surveys for high redshift galaxies selected by their having produced detectable Mg~II and Lyman limit absorption in the spectra of background QSOs. We discuss the properties of the absorbing galaxies, the connection between galaxy properties and absorption line signatures, and how a combination of QSO absorption line and conventional faint galaxy techniques can be used to study field galaxy evolution to very large redshifts.

The Vertical Structure and Asymmetry of Mg ii-enriched Gas in the Milky Way Disk
MgII-enriched gas in the Milky Way disk is confined to a 0.12 kpc scale height with mid-plane density 3.9e-6 cm^-3 and higher northern than southern density.

Investigating the Circumgalactic Medium through Mg II absorption coincidence
Mg II absorber coincidence probability rises steeply below 100 kpc due to single-halo CGM then plateaus at 1-2% to 1 Mpc due to clustering, with stacking confirming 100-200 kpc coherence scale for the cool metal-enriched CGM.

Investigating the Circumgalactic Medium through Mg II absorption coincidence
Mg II absorbers show a two-regime coherence: halo-dominated below ~100 kpc with 5-8% coincidence probability, transitioning to a 1-2% clustering plateau out to 1 Mpc.
