Description: (Abstract of the paper)
This paper contains a compilation of basic information on QSO
absorption systems. A total of 724 QSOs are listed in three
tables. Table 1 contains 353 QSOs that have absorption-line
systems with measured redshifts. The numerous Ly{alpha} forest
systems based only on narrow hydrogen lines are excluded from
Table 1. Absorption systems with multiple components are listed
only once in all of the components fall within a span of 500 km/s.
A total of 862 systems with narrow metal lines which we consider
to be reliably identified are listed in Table 1. Table 1 contains
an additional 260 systems consisting of less certain systems,
damped Ly{alpha} systems, and Lyman limit systems that have not
detected narrow metal lines. In Table 2 we list 146 broad
absorption line QSOs. Fifteen of these have narrow absorption line
systems identified, and thus they also appear in Table 1. In Table
3 we give an inhomogeneous list of 240 QSOs in which absorption
systems have been seen but not measured.
