Notes. Best-fitting relations for the synthetic line ratios displayed in Fig. 6 at z = 0, considering the spectra non-attenuated by ISM dust along the LoS (blue lines). The second column shows the fit parameters of our calibration (Sect. 4.2), while the third and fourth columns show the fit parameters for the lower and upper 95% confidence intervals.
