Notes. Targets with line profiles that show clear deviations from the soft-parabola profile are marked with (!). σ(Ṁ) indicates the spread of the Ṁ-estimates if a minimum of three diagnostic lines is available. If variability is detected in the estimates, this is indicated in the fourth column. If no variability could be seen in the estimates, this is indicated with Constant. The fifth column lists some general remarks. Nlines is the number of lines used. The telescopes with which the line data were obtained are listed in the seventh column. Router is given in the last column.
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
