Notes. ρ and p – the Spearman rang correlation coefficient and its significance. Significant, moderate to strong correlations are highlighted in bold. reference stars = sample non-variable stars of similar Teff, log g and spectral luminosity; SPBs = slowly pulsating B stars; SPBs suspected = stars which lie outside the instability strip for g mode oscillations but possess photometric and vmic properties similar to those of the genuine SPBs; RPs = radial pulsators; non-RPs = non-radial pulsators; var = variable stars; non-mnt = non-monotonic behaviour; “a” – due to lower statistics these results should be considered with caution.
