Caption: Figure 4.

Subset of Na i absorbers: the image marks are the same as in Figure 3. The absorption line is shown in the right panel, centered on the expected position of the 5891.58 Å line from the galaxy redshift. The y-axis shows the normalized flux. The dashed blue line represents the velocity offset of the line from the expected position, or in the case of a blend, the offset as determined across the whole profile.
