Notes. In both cases the same high-resolution spectra were analyzed, but different approaches were used (see Sect. 4.2 for details). We give 1σ statistical single parameter errors for Teff, log(g), log n(4He), and log n(3He). The systematic uncertainties are ± 2% in Teff, and ± 0.10 for log(g), log n(4He), and log n(3He) in all cases. In the case of log n(4He+3He)} and n(4He)/n(3He), the given uncertainties result from the statistical and systematic errors on log n(3He) and log n(4He), for which Gaussian error propagation was used.

(a)

The solar value of log n(3He) = −4.89 was adopted.

(b)

Anomalous helium line profiles (see Sect. 5.4). Therefore, the isotopic abundance ratio n(4He)/n(3He) is uncertain as indicated by a colon.

(c)

Rotating star.

(d)

RV-variable star.
