Notes. Non cluster-members (Sect. 3.3) were excluded. The number of stars the estimate is based on is given in brackets.

(a)

Based on helioseismology.

(b)

Under LTE.

(c)

Based on solar wind data.

(d)

Only based on Si III.

(e)

The microturbulence was adjusted to derive the same Si abundance for each star in the cluster (see Hunter et al. 2007; Trundle et al. 2007).
