Notes.

(a)

Estimated from the mean K′ − M colors of B9 stars.

(b)

The polar surface gravity, estimated by correcting the measured log(g) for the rapid rotation of the star using the method of Huang & Gies (2006).

(c)

Found by ajusting BT-Settl spectra with Teff = 10   600, 10 800, and 11 200 K, and log g = 3.5 on the 0.365–22.1 μm flux distribution of the source.

(d)

Estimated by comparing the measured Teff and bolometric luminosity of κ And A to evolutionary tracks of Ekström et al. (2012) with and without rotation for ages of 20 to 150 Myr.

(e)

Using COND “hot-start” evolutionary models for the most conservative age range (Baraffe et al. 2003).

(f)

Using the “warm-start” models.
