 \caption{Literature data for BD~+17~4708. Note that there are two sets of parameters given by Boesgaard et~al. (\cite{Boes99}): those given in the King (\cite{King93}, K93) scale, and those given in the Carney (\cite{Carn83a},b, C83) scale. In this table, only values derived for the first time (although mostly taken from the more recent papers) by each author(s) are shown to avoid duplicity.}
