Notes. The average temperatures and quoted uncertainties were either taken directly from the references provided in the last column, or computed from tabulated values using the published temperatures or Doppler parameters. In some cases, no uncertainty was provided and the uncertainty provided here corresponds to the standard deviation between components. Because of this heterogeneity, we do not consider the uncertainties in our analysis (see text).
