a Computed from the expressions given in Kramer (1997), and references therein, which take into account the angular size of the planets. The values given for Uranus were computed from an empirical model which used Mars as primary calibrator (Griffin & Orton 1993).

b Obtained from averages of measurements performed during several years - before 1996 - at the IRAM 30 m telescope. These measurements were themselves calibrated through observations of planets. The sizes of these calibrators at 1.2 mm are given in Lisenfeld et al. (2000).
