Abstract

We have made an attempt to compile all currently available data on optically identified QSO absorber systems (Lindner et al. 1996) to establish the status quo of absorber galaxy data as a basis for the investigation of galaxy evolution. We present a first comparison with results from our galaxy evolutionary synthesis models to demonstrate the potential power of this kind of approach and to guide future observations to identify absorber galaxies.
