Direct observational test rules out small MgII absorbers

Recent observations suggest that the incidence of strong intervening Mg II absorption systems along the line of sight to gamma-ray burst afterglows is significantly higher than expected from analogous quasar sightlines. One possible explanation is a geometric effect, arising because Mg II absorbers...
