Caption: Figure 2.
Zoom-ins on regions of the Keck/HIRES spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 151027A, showing strong absorption lines in association with the host system. The top panel reveals fine-structure Fe II* absorption from material near the progenitor site at z = 0.81115. The bottom three panels show absorption from transitions of Mg II λλ2796.35, 2803.53, Mg I λ2852.96, and Ca II λ3934.78, all at z = 0.81095, the redshift of GRB 151027A.
