Notes. Since high- and low-ionisation transitions tend to follow different profiles, we denote them differently: high-ionisation components are denoted with capital, Latin letters and low-ionisation components with Greek letters. Most do not trace the same component – exceptions are Aα = AB, Bγ≈ BD, Cα = CB. H i typically follows the high-ions and as such is included in those components. (S): measurement affected by saturation; (B): measurement affected my blending;
b is the broadening parameter for the component determined from the fit to the highest S/N, unsaturated and unblended lines;
true nature of this measurement is discussed in Sect. 4.4.
