The published version of the paper contains only the stubs to Tables 1-4, 6, and 7. Machine readable versions are available for these tables online from the Astronomical Journal site but human readable versions are not available online. We present here human readable as well as alternately formatted versions of all tables from the paper.

HD Henry Draper Number
HR Bright Star Number
Teff, Spectroscopic effective temperature in Kelvins
log g Spectroscopic logarithmic surface gravity (cm/s2)
Vt, Spectroscopic microturbulent velocity (km/s)
[Fe/H] Spectroscopic mean logarithmic iron abundance relative to the Sun
σ Standard deviation about the mean [Fe/H] ratio
N Number of lines (Fe I) in the determination
Teff MARCS75 effective temperature in Kelvins
log g MARCS75 logarithmic surface gravity (cm/s2)
Vt, MARCS75 microturbulent velocity (km/s)
[Fe/H] MARCS75 mean logarithmic iron abundance relative to the Sun
Teff Physical effective temperature in Kelvins
log g Physical logarithmic surface gravity (cm/s2)
Vt, Physical microturbulent velocity (km/s)
[FeI/H] Physical mean logarithmic iron abundance as determined from Fe I relative to the Sun
[FeII/H] Physical mean logarithmic iron abundance as determined from Fe II relative to the Sun
Both spectroscopic and physical analyses use MARCS models (2002) while the MARCS75 analysis uses the 1975 MARCS model atmospheres.
Table 3: Mass and Luminosity Estimates
HIC Hipparchos Number
HD Henry Draper Number
HR Bright Star Number
MV Absolute Johnson V magnitude as computed from the Hipparchos parallax
MV_e Abolute magnitude uncertainty as computed from the Hipparchos parallax error.
Mass Stellar mass in solar masses.
Mbol Bolometric absolute magnitude.
LSun Logarithm of the stellar luminosity in solar units.
log g Surface gravity in cm/s2.
There are three sets of Mass, Mbol, LSun, and log g corresponding to:
Physical: Mass and bolometric magnitude derived using the isochrones of Bertelli et al. (1994) that are interpolated using the absolute V magnitude and photometric temperature. LSun and log g then derived using standard relations.
Spectroscopic Inversion: The spectroscopic temperature is used to determine the bolometric correction using Bessel, Castelli & Plez (1998). Mass is then determined using the spectroscopic value for the surface gravity (log g) and the luminosity using the standard relations.
Spectroscopic: Mass and bolometric magnitude derived using the isochrones of Bertelli et al. (1994) that are interpolated using the absolute V magnitude and spectroscopic temperature. LSun and log g then derived using standard relations.

Mean: Mean value for the row quantity. For Species rows this is the mean abundance ([x/H]) for the given species. For σ rows this is the mean of all the individual standard deviations. For SE rows this is the mean of all the individual standard errors. For N rows this is the mean number of lines used for the determination of the species abundance.
Median: Median values in the same sense as the Mean.
σ Standard deviation of the Mean.
Max Maximum value in the same sense as the Mean.
Min Minimum value in the same sense as the Mean.
N Number of stars.

Table 9. Mean Abundance Data
Mean spectroscopic abundances ratios ([x/H] and [x/Fe]) and regression coefficients (a,b) for [x/H] = a*[Fe/H]+b. [x/Fe] = (Slope-1)*[Fe/H] + Intercept where x is the element and Slope and Intercept are taken from the linear regression solution for [x/H] versus [Fe/H]. The uncertainties are identical.
