摘要
A simple consistency argument for hypothesis of the galactic halo origin of the Ly alpha forest absorption lines is advanced, based on the recent determination of column-density vs. impact parameter relation for the low-redshift gaseous galactic haloes. It is shown that observations of neutral hydrogen absorption around luminous galaxies are consistent with the index of the power-law column density distribution derived from statistical analyses of large samples of high-redshift Ly alpha forest lines.
