A Uniform Analysis of the Lyα Forest at <i>z</i> = 0–5. III. <i>Hubble Space Telescope</i> Faint Object Spectrograph Spectral Atlas

Abstract

We analyzed the absorption line spectra of all quasars observed with the high resolution gratings of the Faint Object Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We examined 788 spectra for 334 quasars, and present line lists and identifications of absorption lines in the spectra of 271 of them. Analysis of the statistics of the Ly-alpha and metal absorption systems are presented in companion papers (Dobrzycki et al. 2001; Scott et al. 2001; Morita et al. 2001). The data and several analysis products are available electronically and on the authors' web site.
