Doublet absorption of Mg II at the redshift of #884 in the spectrum of the galaxy BG1 (black). The horizontal dotted line shows the continuum level in the spectrum of BG1. The vertical dotted lines show the rest-frame wavelengths of the Mg II doublet. The red dashed line shows the absorption line predicted by extrapolating our best-fitting model to the location of the BG1 sight line. The blue dashed line shows the full FoV spectrum of #884, with the continuum level renormalized to match that of BG1. The absorption in the spectrum of BG1 is considerably broader than that present in the spectrum of #884. This is because in the case of BG1, both sides of the spherical outflow absorb flux, instead of only the blue-shifted half of the outflow. The predicted absorption is inconsistent with the observed profiles, implying that our outflow model does not describe the gas distribution properly along this sight line.
