Notes. 1σ statistical single parameter errors on log n(4He) and log n(3He) are given. The systematic uncertainties are ± 0.10 in all cases. The given uncertainties on n(4He)/n(3He) result from statistical and systematic errors, for which Gaussian error propagation was used. From Table 4: Model I+ (Teff = 29 000 K, log(g) = 5.21, log n(4He) = −4.75, log n(3He) = −2.85, He I 6678 Å included), Model II+ (20 700 K, 4.81, −3.34, −2.57, He I 6678 Å included), and Model III-(29 800 K, 5.65, −2.76, −2.72, He I 6678 Å excluded).
