a Estimated relative standard uncertainty 4%.
b A direct conversion of the measured width, ${\it\Delta }\lambda _{\rm FWHM}$, to ${\it\Delta} \lambda_{\rm D}^*$(without corrections for the instrumental width) can be obtained with Eq. (1). It would give, for instance, ${\it\Delta} \lambda_{\rm D}^* = 9.18$ pm and 8.63 pm in the first data row of the table.
c Mean value.
