Date of observation is listed in column 1; the radial velocity in km s−1 and the intensity in units of the nearby continuum of the line profile parts are listed in columns 2-3 (blue emission peak), 4-5 (central depression), and 6-7 (red emission peak); respectively, column 8 lists the EW of the strongest (red) line peak.
aThe spectrum was reported in [3].
bThe line in this spectrum has an additional absorption component at −129 km s−1 and 1.11 continuum intensity.
