Notes. The last column denotes the metal abundance with respect to solar.

(a)

The restframe EW (1σ errors) and the 3σ detection limits are measured assuming an aperture of 1665   km   s-1, i.e. twice the full width at half maximum of a Gaussian with Doppler parameter b = 500   km   s-1.

(b)

Derived from the Voigt profile fit of the Lyα absorption, see Fig. 5.

(c)

The column densities, derived from the EW in the optically thin limit, are considered as lower limits because the lines are saturated.
