Table 2: The best fit parameters for the continuum for the earlier RGS observation (Steenbrugge et al. 2003) and the present HETGS and LETGS observations of NGC 5548. The parameters for the HETGS and LETGS are for the best fit model including the three  slab components with the outflow velocities frozen to the UV values.
