These spectra were selected as having the highest signal-to-noise ratio among the Hubble Space Telescope/STIS spectra obtained with the E230M grating. We identify 56 metal-line systems towards the eight quasars, and present plots of detected transitions, aligned in velocity space. We found that about 1/4–1/3 of the features in the Lyα forest region, redward of the incidence of the Lyβ forest, are metal lines. High-ionization transitions are common. At the redshift range we study, z < 1.7 , we see both O vi and C iv in 88–90 per cent of the metal-line systems for which the spectra cover the expected wavelength. Si iii is seen in 58 per cent, while low-ionization absorption in C ii, Si ii and/or Al ii is detected in 50 per cent of the systems for which they are covered. This catalogue will facilitate future studies of the Lyα forest and of metal-line systems of various types., Article, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. 382(3):1094-1104 (2007)}, pages = {1094--1104}, title = {A catalogue of absorption lines in eight Hubble Space Telescope/STIS E230M 1.0 < z < 1.7 quasar spectra}, volume = {382}, year = {2007} }
