Notes.

(a)

The abundance uncertainties represent the formal errors due to the sensitivity of the derived abundances to slight changes in the model atmosphere parameters (ΔTeff =  ± 100 K, Δ[M/H] = ±0.3, Δξ =  ± 1 km s-1, Δlog g =  +0.5, ΔFWHM = 50 mÅ) for each star.

(b)

Present-day pulsation periods derived by us from AAVSO data.

(c)

References for the SiO, H2O, and OH maser observations.

(d)

R Cen was not observed around the ZrO 6474 Å bandhead, but its spectrum around the weaker (and less sensitive to the Zr content) ZrO bands near 6925 Å is identical to the other stars.
