Table 6: Emission properties of the NIR flare events from the infrared counterpart of Sgr A*. For each observing session we give the estimated IQ flux, which corresponds to the mean flux during its low flux density state during that session. The peak flux densities are corrected for the IQ state flux. The flux densities are dereddened using AH = 4.3, AK = 2.8, and AL' = 1.8. In the case of a flare event detection we give the full zero start and stop times, the full zero width at the corresponding zero points (FWZP) and the full width at half maximum of the flare events. The time period listed with the infrared flare event II corresponds to a time of slightly increased source activity.
