a Number of lines selected to compute the velocity shift and nonthermal velocity.
b Doppler shift computed assuming as reference the measured mean velocity of Si I lines, -23.85 $\pm$ 0.09 km s-1.
c We use 1 in this column to flag the ions for which all the measured lines were used to compute the velocity shift and nonthermal velocity.
