Notes. The columns list: median signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the spectra at 5700 Å; number of observations per epoch (N1,2); baseline (Δt) between the epochs considered (c2c indicates two consecutive pulsation cycles); median Barycentric Julian dates, less 2 450 000 (BJD1,2). ΔAvr is the change in peak-to-peak RV amplitude due to modulation. Columns ΔR1,2/p list the per-epoch RV curve integrals, cf. Eq. (2). The last column (err(d)) quantifies the systematic uncertainty on BW distances due to modulation if non-contemporaneous ΔR and ΔΘ are used to determine the distance, cf. Eq. (3).
