Top: comparison of updated values of ﹩\mathrm{log}{N}_{{\rm{H}}{\rm{I}}}﹩ (“new”; see column 5 of Table 9) with the values adopted in Paper I (“old”; see column 11 of Table 9). Middle: comparison of updated values of ﹩\mathrm{log}U﹩ with the values adopted in Paper I. Bottom: comparison of updated values of ﹩\mathrm{log}{Z}_{\mathrm{abs}}﹩ with the values adopted in Paper I. In all panels, the dashed line indicates perfect agreement between the two values. Symbol size is indicative of our confidence in the photoionization models (i.e., our absorber grades; see Section 6) with higher-confidence absorbers having larger plot symbols. The H I column densities and ionization parameters typically agree well, but our updated absorber metallicities are somewhat higher than the values found in Paper I.
