Notes. Teff and log g are direct determinations (see Heiter et al., in prep.). Metallicities were derived by Jofré et al. (2014). The metallicity uncertainty listed here only reflects the standard deviation of the mean abundance of the Fe i lines. Also given is the parameter space group to which the star belongs (MRD, MRG, or MPS – see text.)
