Notes. Columns provide position = M1 = ∑ Fi × vi/ ∑ Fi, width , and skewness where M0 = ∑ Fi, M2 = ∑ Fi × (viM1)2/ ∑ Fi, and M3 = ∑ Fi × (viM1)3/ ∑ Fi. The intervals in which these parameters were evaluated are shown in Fig. 6. The errors were derived from error propagation, hence systematic uncertainties are not included. For example, the RGS wavelength scale display variations with σ ~ 5 mÅ (de Vries et al. 2015), corresponding to an additional error of 60–125 km s-1 on the positions of the chosen lines.
