Notes.

(a)

Velocities are relative to a systemic redshift of z = 0.034397 (Fisher et al. 1995).

(b)

Mean transmission in the given absorption trough in the COS 2012 spectrum.

(c)

Mean fractional difference between COS 2012 and COS 2009 troughs normalized by the mean transmission for COS 2012.

(d)

Mean fractional error in the difference between the COS 2012 and COS 2009 troughs normalized by the mean transmission for COS 2012.

(e)

Mean fractional difference between the COS 2012 and COS 2009 troughs normalized by the error.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
