$\ast$ The 3$\sigma$ detection limits are 5.1 $\times $ 10 $^{-5}~L_{\odot}$ and 6.4 $\times $ 10-5 for NK 1 and SK 1 respectively. Luminosities are expressed in units of $L_{\odot}$ and a distance of 460 pc is adopted.
$\dagger$ Luminosities have been dereddened using K-band extinctions of 1.0 and 1.4 mag for NK 1 and SK 1. H-band extinctions of 1.6 and 2.1 mag were used to deredden the [Fe II] luminosities (using $A_{\rm H}$ = 1.56 $\times $ AK from Rieke & Lebofsky (1985)).
