cds-question@unistra.frh-i-line-emissionquasarsspectroscopychemical-abundancesWe publish the Keck/HIRES and Keck/ESI spectra that we have obtained during the first 10 years of Keck observatory operations. Our full sample includes 42 HIRES spectra and 39 ESI spectra along 65 unique sight lines providing abundance measurements on about 85 DLA systems. The normalized data can be downloaded from the journal or from our supporting Web site. The database includes all of the sight lines that have been included in our papers on the chemical abundances, kinematics, and metallicities of the damped Ly{alpha} systems. This data has also been used to argue for variations in the fine-structure constant. We present new chemical abundance measurements for 10 damped Ly{alpha} systems and a summary table of high-resolution metallicity measurements (including values from the literature) for 153 damped Ly{alpha} systems at z>1.6. We caution, however, that this metallicity sample (and all previous ones) is biased to higher N_HI_ values than a random sample.2007ApJS..171...29Phttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/171/29CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toIII/211 : Keck/HIRES Sky Line Atlas (Osterbrock+ 1997)J/ApJ/472/509 : Lyman-alpha Forest in Q0000-26 (Lu+ 1996)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/171/29https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/171/29http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/171/29https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/171/29https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/171/29http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/171/29GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/171/29/table13 (Damped Ly{alpha} (DLA) Metal Summary)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/171/29/table13?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/171/29/table13?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/171/29/table13?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true218.803916674.343333330.0055555555555555566/2172 2247 2348 4168 4273 4279 4947 5270 5306 5563 5696 5848 6219 6403 6591 6647 7168 7312 8395 9046 9095 9523 9940 10188 10571 10753 11290 11319 11498 11765 12563 13314 15278 16589 16752 16831 17190 17317 17404 17662 17751 17772 17895 17917 18039 18084 18086 18200 18271 18366 18582 18642 18765 18769 18858 18943 19206 19411 19490 19680 19682 20249 20384 20450 20516 21012 22593 22917 23099 25245 25294 25329 25413 25427 25540 25677 25863 25986 26069 26165 26166 26453 26479 26614 26882 27053 27161 27225 27232 27302 27650 27728 27747 28039 28042 28281 28539 31331 32466 33746 34044 34210 34379 34503 34691 34809 35737 35751 35781 36151 36346 38639 38744 38878 44724 45525 46529 46542 46651 48474 49100 49103https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/171/29?format=asciiOpticalRadiodefaultJ/ApJS/171/29/refsReferencesRefNumber of reference as used in table 13meta.number;instr.setupintrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
