C (%): relative contribution of various iron phases to the absorption cross section; it corresponds to iron abundancies as particular phases; S (mm/s): spectral shift versus shift of -Fe at room temperature; Δ (mm/s): electric quadrupole splitting; B (T): magnetic hyperfine field; Γ (mm/s): absorber line width. Errors for all values are of the order of unity for the last digit shown.
