All Tables

Table 1: Log of the EMMI observations of RS Pup and its PSF calibrator, HD 70555. MJD^* is the median Modified Julian Date of the exposures. The phases $\phi$ were computed using the (T₀, P) parameters given in Sect. 3.2.
Table 2: Measured photometry of RS Pup.
Table 3: Measured photometry of the selected nebular features. The x and y columns list the coordinates of the selected pixels in the data cube. The angular radius $\theta _i$ of these pixels is counted in arcseconds from RS Pup, and the azimuth is measured from north ( $N=0^\circ$ , $E=90^\circ$ ). The coordinates of RS Pup in the image, in pixels from the bottom left, are $x=619.3 \pm 0.2$ , $y=628.2 \pm 0.2$ . ``Mean_i'' is the average value, and A_i the amplitude of the adjusted photometric curve, expressed in ADU and $\Delta \phi _i$ is the phase offset with respect to RS Pup, with its associated total error (see text). N_i is the computed integer number of periods between the variation cycle of RS Pup and that of the feature. d_i is the derived distance to RS Pup. The six selected features for the final distance computation are marked with * in the first column (see Sect. 4.4 for details).
Table 4: Systematic uncertainty contributors on the distance of RS Pup.
Table 5: Observationally determined distances of RS Pup. ``IRSB'' stands for ``infrared surface brightness''.
