摘要

We present Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based data on the z_(abs) = 0.8596 metal-line absorption system along the line of sight to PKS 0454 + 0356. The system is a moderate-redshift damped Lyα system, with N(H I) = (5.7 ± 0.3) x 10~(20) cm~(-2) as measured from the faint Object Spectrograph spectrum. We also present ground-based images which we use to identify the galaxy which most probably gives rise to the damped system; the most likely candidate is relatively underluminous by QSO absorber standards (M_B ~ —19.0 for q_0 = 0.5 and H_0 = 50 km s~(-1) Mpc~(-1)) and lies ~8.5 h~(-1) kpc in projection from the QSO sight line. Ground-based measurements of Zn II, Cr II, and Fe II absorption lines from this system allow us to infer abundances of [Zn/H] = —1.1, [Cr/H] = —1.2, and [Fe/H] = —1.2, indicating overall metallicity similar to damped systems at z > 2, and that the depletion of Cr and Fe onto dust grains may be even less important than in many of the high-redshift systems of comparable metallicity. Limits previously placed on the 21 cm optical depth in the z = 0.8596 system, together with our new N(H I) measurement, suggest a very high spin temperature for the H I, T_s > 580 K.
