Table 3: Radial velocities relative $\beta $ Pic of ions measured in absorption.
Ion $\Delta v^{{\rm a}}$ $\sigma_{\Delta v}^{{\rm b}}$
  km s-1 km s-1
Fe I -0.0 0.3
Na I -1.2 0.3
Ca II $^{{\rm c}}$ -0.3 2.1
Ti II 0.2 0.8
Ni I 0.4 0.4
Ni II 2.8 3
Cr II 2.2 3
$^{{\rm a}}$
The positive direction is radially away from us, towards $\beta $ Pic.
$^{{\rm b}}$
Errors are relative only. An additional systematic error of 0.5 km s-1 comes from the uncertainty in the system velocity of $\beta $ Pic.
$^{{\rm c}}$
The radial velocity of Ca II is measured on the infrared lines $\lambda $7291.47 and $\lambda $7323.89, and not the optically thick Ca II H & K lines.
