We have measured the laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectra of the 3 1P10←3 1S0 transition of Mg atoms solvated in helium nanodroplets. The observed blue shifts and line broadenings mirror the shifts and broadenings observed in studies of Mg atoms solvated in bulk liquid helium. This similarity allows us to conclude that Mg atoms reside in the interior of the helium droplet. The 3 1P10←3 1S0 transition shows a splitting which we attribute to a quadrupolelike deformation of the cavity which forms around the solute atom after excitation. Temporal evolution of the fluorescence from the solvated 3 1P10 Mg yields a longer lifetime (2.39±0.05 ns) than found in vacuum (1.99±0.08 ns). This difference can be accounted for quantitatively by evaluation of the anisotropic distribution of the helium density in the neighborhood of the excited Mg atom. The question of solvation vs surface location for the guest atoms is also discussed in light of the model of Ancilotto et al. [F. Ancilotto, P. B. Lerner, and M. W...
