Appendix A: Notes on stars with uncertain rotational velocity

A.1 Stars with no selected line

In a few cases, the selected lines are all discarded either from their Fourier profile or from their skewness (Table 3). For these stars, an uncertain value of \ensuremath{v\sin i} is derived from the lines that should have been discarded. They are indicated by a colon and flagged as "NO'' in Table 5. These objects are listed below. It is worth noticing that none of them have spectra collected in $\Lambda _3$ spectral range:

   
A.2 Stars with high external error

A few stars of the sample exhibit an external error higher than the estimation carried on in Sect. 3.3. It can be the signature of a multiple system. The following stars have variable \ensuremath{v\sin i} from spectrum to spectrum and are labeled as "SS'' in Table 5:
