Notes. The defined mass ranges and the corresponding number of normal stars are given. The smoothing parameter ĥ is given for each subsample, it is expressed in logarithmic vsini. For each distribution, the parameters of the Maxwellian fit are listed: percentage of slow and fast velocity distributions, mode and dispersion. For slow rotators, the distribution mode μs is derived from the Maxwellian fit. The fast rotator distribution is a lagged Maxwellian (see text and footnote2), and its mode is , where α is the parameter of the Maxwellian distribution. The estimators μ′ are derived as the position of the maximum directly on the 1D distributions. The distributions are shown in Fig. 6 for six of the eighteen mass ranges, indicated by asterisks.
