Notes. Calculations were made with various combinations of underlying models for each spectral type. We list the minimum residual intensity (I), Stokes V, and Stokes Q signals from the different molecular lines for a model star with vsini = 10 km s-1 and 10% of the longitudinal or transverse magnetic field of 3 kG. Tabulated maxima exclude excursions due to atomic lines that overlap the relevant molecular band.
