Notes. See text for description of the model components. The normal astrophysical background parameters are fixed to the best-fit values determined from BG-W (see Table 3).

(a)

Fixed to the Galactic column density from the Dickey & Lockman (1990) HI maps.

(b)

Absorption and thermal component abundances fixed to those of the LMC.

(c)

Only O, Ne, and Mg allowed to vary. All other metal abundances fixed to LMC values.

(d)

Fixed according to the results of the BG-W fits (see Table 3).

(e)

Numbers in parentheses are the 90% confidence intervals.
