dc.descriptionThis paper joins a series compiling consistent emission line measurements of large AGN spectral databases, useful for reliable statistical studies of emission line properties. It is preceded by emission line measurements of 993 spectra from the Large Bright Quasar Survey (Forster et al. 2001) and 174 spectra of AGN obtained from the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on HST prior to the installation of COSTAR (Kuraszkiewicz et al. 2002). This time we concentrate on 220 spectra obtained with the FOS after the installation of COSTAR, completing the emission line analysis of all FOS archival spectra. We use the same automated technique as in previous papers, which accounts for Galactic extinction, models blended optical and UV iron emission, includes Galactic and intrinsic absorption lines and models emission lines using multiple Gaussians. We present UV and optical emission line parameters (equivalent widths, fluxes, FWHM, line positions) for a large number (28) of emission lines including upper limits for undetected lines. Further scientific analyses will be presented in subsequent papers.
