Absorption Line Systems

Absorption Line Systems is a spectroscopic phenomenon in astrophysics characterized by a set of discrete wavelengths in a celestial spectrum where photons are absorbed by intervening matter, distinguishing it from emission line systems by the reduction in observed flux at specific transition energies of atoms or molecules along the line of sight.
