Notes. The quoted uncertainties correspond to either the error of the mean (present study) or the standard deviation of the individual results. (a) Number of objects in parentheses;(b)means calculated from the individual estimates in the relevant studies; (c) relatively rapid rotators (v sin i ~ 130 km s−1).
