Notes.

(†)

The Hβ flux is found from the infrared hydrogen lines using the theoretical ratios of Hummer & Storey (1987). It must be remembered that the 12.37 μm line is a blend of the H(7-6) transition with the H(11-8) line, while the 7.46 μm line is a blend of H(6-5) with H(8-6) and H(17-8). These blends are subtracted when deriving Hβ. Furthermore the ratios of the various hydrogen lines are (weakly) dependent on the electron temperature.

Units of line intensity are always erg cm-2 s-1.
