Add to ORKGSixty percent of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) reveal strong MgII absorbing systems, which is a factor of ∼2 times the rate seen along lines-of-sight to quasars. Previous studies argue that the discrepancy in the strong MgII covering factor is most likely to be the result of either quasars being obscured due to dust, or the consequence of many GRBs being strongly gravitationally lensed. We analyze observations of quasars that show strong foreground MgII absorption. We find that GRB lines of sight pass closer to bright galaxies than would be expected for random lines of sight within the impact parameter expected for strong MgII absorption. While this cannot be explained by obscuration in the GRB sample, it is a natural consequence of gravitational...
