Notes.

^(a)

From the comparison of integrated photometry UBVIHα with population synthesis models,

^(b)

estimated from measured E(B − V) = 2.20 and assuming R_V = 3.1 extinction curve (Weingartner & Draine 2001),

^(c)

deconvolved FWHM from Lorentzian fit,

^(d)

based on the Brγ equivalent width as an age indicator comparing it with Starburst99 (Leitherer et al. 2010) models,

^(e)

not corrected for extinction,

^(f)

K-band apparent magnitude for an aperture of 2″,

^(g)

it is unresolved. The angular size (FWHM) measured from a Gaussian fit corresponds to the size of the seeing disk,

^(h)

from observed Brγ luminosity,

⁽ⁱ⁾

from the fluxes of the [Ne ii] and [Ne iii] lines at 12.81 and 15.56 μm.
