Notes. Errors are intended to be at 1σ c.l., upper limits are given at 95% confidence level. Times are given with respect to the barycentre of the Solar System (TDB). Best-fit spin parameters are derived for both hypotheses of a constant spin-up and flux dependent spin-up, and the uncertainties in the given values of ν, ν̇, and max include systematics due to the uncertainties in the source position (see text). Here we report only the second harmonic best-fit spin parameters. (1) This value was obtained using the latest available measure of G, c (http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Constants/) and M (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/sunfact.html).
