Abstract
We present the high-resolution ultraviolet HST/STIS (R = 30,000) spectrum of the three Mg II-selected absorption systems at z = 0.9254, 0.9276, and 0.9343 along the line of sight toward quasar PG 1206 + 459. The association between host galaxies and the three MgII absorption systems is discussed. In system A, complex structures are resolved in the N V profiles, which indicates that this system is unlikely to represent a traditional disk/corona. In system B, the N V profiles are smooth and broad, without apparent structure. This suggests that system B could be associated with a coronal structure that is similar to the Milky Way.
