A principal table containing five resolution-dependent blend wavelengths
together with their corresponding pixel displacement and
discretisation stability parameter s for two very different
Ar-to-Th line strength ratios, as well as five restricted tables
containing only the blend wavelengths of a selection of strong stable
calibration lines for each of the spectral resolutions discussed in this paper
are published by A&A at the Centre de Données de Strasbourg, where they are
available in electronic form: see the Editorial in A&A 1993, Vol. 280,
page E1. These tables are also available on the webserver of the Astrophysics
Data Reduction Centre of the KSB/ORB: http://midas.oma.be or through
anonymous ftp from
midas.oma.be.
