| Abstract
| - ABSTRACT. We study the cross-correlation between 212 Mg ii quasar absorption systems and ∼20 000 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 in the redshift range 0.4 ≤z≤ 0.8. The Mg ii systems were selected to have λλ 2796 and 2803 rest-frame equivalent widths ≥1.0 Å and identifications confirmed by the Fe iiλ2600 or Mg iλ2852 lines. Over comoving scales 0.05-13 h−1 Mpc, the Mg ii-LRG cross-correlation has an amplitude 0.67 ± 0.09 times that of the LRG-LRG auto-correlation. Since LRGs have halo masses greater than 3.5 × 1012 M⊙ for MR≲−21, this relative amplitude implies that the absorber host galaxies have halo masses greater than ∼2-8 × 1011 M⊙. For 1013-M⊙ LRGs, the absorber host galaxies have halo masses ∼0.5-2.5 × 1012 M⊙. Our results appear consistent with those of who found that Mg ii absorbers with WMg IIr≥ 0.3 Å are associated with ∼ 0.7L*B galaxies.
