Description
We present results of our Hubble Space Telescope Cycle 11 survey for low-redshift (z<1.65) damped Ly{alpha} (DLA) systems in the UV spectra of quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (Cat. <J/AJ/123/567>). These quasars have strong intervening MgII-FeII systems that are known signatures of high column density neutral gas. In total, including our previous surveys, UV observations of Ly{alpha} absorption in 197 MgII systems with z<1.65 and rest equivalent width (REW) W_0_^{lambda}2796^>=0.3{AA} have now been obtained.
