A comparison of metal and Ly-α absorption in galactic haloes

The metallicity structure of galactic haloes is one of the major unknowns in modern galactic astrophysics and observational cosmology. Hereby we outline a very simple method for obtaining at least a crude picture of gas abundances, based on recent important statistical determination of the...
