Notes. The VOa, TiO5 and PC3 indices measured from the low-resolution spectra, except TiO5 for some cases as noted (see Sect. 4.1).

(a)

The TiO5 index measured from medium-resolution spectra.

(b)

Distances estimated from the spectral type versus magnitude relation in Filippazzo et al. (2015).

(c)

An uncertainty of 0.5 subtypes of estimated spectral types.

(d)

An unreliable value, not being used to estimate spectral type.
