Notes. Out of the 33 initially selected bursts, 11 were excluded because of poor S/N, which are additionally listed at the bottom of the table.Columns from left to right: name of the GRB; redshift; FWHM of the instrumental resolution in km s−1 inferred in the UVB, VIS, and NIR arms of X-shooter (taken from Selsing et al. 2019); S/N in the range of the expected H2 absorption lines. For the 11 bursts at the end of the table that were excluded from the sample, we write a small comment indicating the potential reason for the S/N being so low.
