Notes. Notes on the catalog columns: 1. object name as designated in the ESO archive. 2–3. The J2000 coordinates (Right Ascension and Declination) in sexagesimal degrees. 4. QSO redshift. The redshift was estimated using the result of a principal component analysis (Pâris et al. 2012). 5. Number of X-shooter observations. Most QSOs were observed only once. Thirteen QSOs were observed more than once because of interrupted OBs or ADC issues. 6–9. Modified Julian Day (MJD) at the beginning of X-shooter observation. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 10–13. Modified Julian Day (MJD) at the end of X-shooter observation. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 14–17. Minimum seeing of X-shooter observation, taken from the ESO.TEL.IA.FWHM keyword, expressed in arcsec. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 18–21. Minimum seeing of X-shooter observation, taken from the ESO.TEL.IA.FWHM keyword, expressed in arcsec. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 22–25. Average S/N near 1700 Å (rest frame) computed in the window 16901710 Å. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 26–29. Average S/N near 3000 Å (rest frame) computed in the window 29903010 Å. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 30–33. Average S/N near 3600 Å (rest frame) computed in the window 3590–3610Å. The values for the different executions of the same observing block are also listed separately (when applicable). 34–37. Calibration flags for each X-shooter observation. The value of the resulting calibration flag is the sum of the five following flags. A value of 0 means no problem to report, 1 means that the VIS spectrum was calibrated using a different standard star, 2 means that there are residual spikes in the UVB spectrum, 4 is set when apparent order-to-order fluctuations in the VIS arm, 8 when the exposure was interrupted, and a value of 16 is set when the exposure was taken with faulty ADCs. The values for the different executions of the same observing block (when applicable) are also listed separately. 38. High-resolution spectroscopy (Keck/HIRES or VLT/UVES) exist for some of the XQ-100 QSOs. The HR_FLAG is set to 1 if a high-resolution spectrum exists, otherwise 0. 39–41. Magnitudes in the B, V and R Johnson filters. These values were retrieved from the CDS (Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg). When the magnitude in one of the filters could not be found, the value was set to − 1. 42–51. SDSS-DR12 point-spread function magnitudes (Cols.#42, 44, 46, 49, 50) and their associated errors (Cols.#43, 45, 47, 48, 51) in the u, g, r, i and z filters (Alam et al. 2015). Objects outside of the SDSS footprint have associated magnitudes and errors set to − 1. 52. If a QSO was observed as part of SDSS-I/II (York et al. 2000; Schneider et al. 2010), the DR7Q_MATCHED flag is set to 1, otherwise 0. 53–55. When a SDSS-I/II spectrum is available, the SDSS plate number (Col.#53), spectroscopic MJD (Col.#54) and fiber number (Col.#55). 56. If a QSO was observed as part of SDSS-III (Eisenstein et al. 2011), the DR12Q_MATCHED flag is set to 1, otherwise 0. 57. Number of SDSS-III spectra available. 58–63. When SDSS-III spectra are available, the plate numbers (Cols.#58, 61), spectroscopic MJDs (Cols.#59, 62) and fiber numbers (Col.#60, 63). The values of the first and second observation are listed separately (when applicable). 64. If there is a source in the FIRST radio catalog (version March 2014; Becker et al. 1995) within 5′′ of the QSO position, the FIRST_MATCHED flag is set to 1, otherwise 0. If the QSO lies outside of the FIRST footprint, it is set to − 1. 65. FIRST peak flux density at 20 cm, expressed in mJy. 66. S/N of the FIRST source whose flux is given in Col.#65. 67. If there is a source from the Two Micron All Sky Survey All-Sky Data Release Point Source Catalog (2MASS; Cutri et al. 2003) within 5′′ of the QSOposition, the TMASS_MATCHED is set to 1, otherwise 0. 68–76.

If a source from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer AllWISE Data Release Point Source Catalog (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) lies within 5′′ of a XQ-100 QSO, the WISE_MATCHED is set to 1, otherwise 0. 79–94. WISE w1, w2, w3, and w4 magnitudes (Cols#79, 83, 87, 91), with their associated errors (Cols#80, 84, 88, 92), S/N (Cols#81, 85, 89, 93) and χ2 (Cols#82, 86, 90, 94). 95.
