Notes. The unit for columns (3) and (4) is S as used in the Pioneer photometry data. The values in units of 10−9 erg cm−2 s−1 sr−1−1 (=cgs) in the last column (5) have been calculated using the conversion factors from Table 2 of Gordon et al. (1998), 1 S10−9 erg cm−2 s−1 sr−1−1 in B and 1 S10−9 erg cm−2 s−1 sr−1−1 in R.
