Notes.

^(a)

A fixed parameter in the modelling.

^(b)

Measured value, not accounting for nebular contamination of roughly 10% at this phase.

^(c)

Measured value, not accounting for nebular contamination of roughly 25% at this phase.

^(d)

Corrected using the measured c(Hβ) = 2.42 ± 0.04, and a representative (V − I)₀ = −0.4 for the nebular progenitor (Ciardullo et al. 1999).

^(e)

Corrected using the measured c(Hβ) = 2.42 ± 0.04, and assuming that the modelled temperature is representative of the spectral type of the secondary (see text for details).
