Notes.

(1)

The values assigned to the keywords in the headers of the DR2 data files may depend on the arm (UVB, VIS or NIR), even when this is not explicit in the keyword name.

(2)

The cz values are barycentric. They are affected by uncertainties directly related to those on the standard wavelength calibration of the Xshooter data (cf. Sect. 4.3), as illustrated by differences between arms.
