What is Column density distribution of galactic Ly-alpha absorption systems about?

A simple consistency argument for hypothesis of the galactic halo origin of the Ly-alpha forest absorption lines is advanced, based on the recent determination of column-density vs. impact parameter relation for the low-redshift gaseous galactic haloes. It is shown that observations of neutral hydrogen absorption around luminous galaxies are consistent with the index of the power-law column density distribution derived from statistical analysis of large samples of high-redshift Ly-alpha forest lines.
