Notes.

(a)

Number of ESO archive spectra per setup, where RED L and RED U are counted separately.

(b)

Approximate number of targets within coordinate search radius of 1.8′′ per setup.

(c)

Regions of telluric contamination (Tell. cont.) measured in relative flux

(d)

Approximate number of targets across all setups accounting for stars observed in multiple setups.
