Abstract

Complex velocity structure is revealed in several absorption systems in the spectrum of 0215+015 (z=1.715) at resolutions of 20–30 km s−1 FWHM. Striking differences are found in the relative strengths of low to high ions among the components, reinforcing our interpretation of these systems as intervening galaxies.
