Notes. The FWHM is given in units of km s−1 and the flux in 10−14 erg s−1 cm−2, measured at Earth’s distance (154 Mpc). The flux is corrected for line absorption and Galactic dust extinction.

(a)

Doublet, components modelled separately.

(b)

Blend, modelled with one Gaussian component.

(c)

Doublet, intermediate components modelled separately, broad and very broad together as one Gaussian each.

(d)

Doublet, broad lines modelled as one component.

(e)

Possible contribution from a feature from the Fe III UV34 multiplet, as explained in Leighly & Moore (2004).
