Table A.5.

Further details on cyclotron lines: centroid energy (from Table A.1), line width σ, central line depth D (the normalization constant of the line component, often called the “strength” of the line), “optical depth” τ of the line (with “strength” ), X-ray luminosity Lx, References and additional notes.
