Description

We report results from a survey of MgII absorbers in the spectra of background quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) that are within close angular distances to a foreground galaxy at z<0.5, using the Magellan Echellette Spectrograph. We have established a spectroscopic sample of 94 galaxies at a median redshift of <z>=0.24 in fields around 70 distant background QSOs (z_QSO_>0.6), 71 of which are in an "isolated" environment with no known companions and located at {rho}<~120h^-1^kpc from the line of sight of a background QSO. The rest-frame absolute B-band magnitudes span a range from M_B_-5logh=-16.4 to M_B_-5logh=-21.4 and rest-frame B_AB_-R_AB_ colors range from B_AB_-R_AB_~0 to B_AB_-R_AB_~1.5. Of these "isolated" galaxies, we find that 47 have corresponding MgII absorbers in the spectra of background QSOs and rest-frame absorption equivalent width W_r_(2796)=0.1-2.34{AA}, and 24 do not give rise to MgII absorption to sensitive upper limits.
