Notes. For V509 Cas and ρ Cas we give the radius and luminosity values for both angular diameters: (JDSC) using the angular diameter from Bourges et al. (2017) and (interf.) using diameters from interferometric studies of van Belle et al. (2009) and Anugu et al. (2024) respectively. ^(a)Groenewegen (2020) log L/L_⊙ = 5.33 and T_eff = 5625 K, using Stefan-Boltzmann law. ^(b)Şahin et al. (2016) log L/L_⊙ = 5.5 and T_eff = 7350 K, using Stefan-Boltzmann law.
