Abstract
Recently the degree of physical association between low redshift Lyα absorption line systems and galaxies has been subject to some debate, and the observational evidence has been interpreted variously as both being in favour of and against the hypothesis that galaxies produce the majority of the low redshift absorption systems (Morris et al. 1993, Mo & Morris 1994, Lanzetta et al. 1994, Stocke et al. 1994).
