from Figure 1 (page 5 of the PDF) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.07591:
> The tangent-plane distribution of Mg II absorbers in the redshift slice z = 0.802 ± 0.060.
the ring is visible in the slice, which corresponds to a distance range based on those redshift values and cosmological parameters. I think this is effectively a spherical shell of a certain thickness.

The solar radiation wattage per unit of surface area is dependent on the angle that surface is to the sun. The angle is dependent on the season and time of day, so the amount of power is not fixed.
