Notes. The reference Teff and log g values are obtained from interferometric and asteroseismic measurements, and are discussed in Sect. 4.2. (a) Teff and ξ values taken from England (1980) and Smith et al. (1986), respectively. (b) Teff and log g derived from photometric indices and isochrone fitting, respectively. ξ determined from calibrations. (c) All values taken from Santos et al. (2005). (d)Teff and log g values taken from Heiter et al. (2015). ξ and LTE [Fe/H] values taken from Jofré et al. (2014). (e)Teff and log g derived from photometric indices and isochrone fitting, respectively. (f)Mean values from differential, unconstrained analysis (see Table B.2).
