Notes.

^(a)

The values are obtained by fitting the data with the slab model, i.e. without an assumption about the ionisation balance, except for O iv, for which we also show the value obtained under CIE assumption. The uncertainties include the systematic uncertainty of 1 mÅ and the allowance of v_tot = 20–35 km s^-1.

^(b)

The value for RGS1, RGS2, and HRC is the weighted mean of the Lyα and Lyβ measurements. RGS2 only covers the Lyβ line.
