Abstract
The origin of the absorption features seen in the spectra of distant QSOs is still unresolved. The authors present predictions of the numbers and strengths of absorption lines expected for a network of QSOs behind the Virgo cluster based on the two distinct extrinsic hypotheses, viz. absorption by very extensive galactic halos or by very numerous low surface brightness dwarfs. The results are compared in order to see how the two hypotheses can be distinguished by currently feasible observations.
