21. Although the trap is constructed from permanent magnets, the values for the oscillation frequencies and bias field have changed from those previously reported. This is because the magnets have been replaced.

35. The semi-classical result was compared to an exact ideal-gas calculation and found to be accurate, except for a temperature shift as noted in [W. Ketterle and N. J. van Druten, Phys. Rev. A 54, 656 (1996)]. All the temperatures reported here are calculated in the semi-classical approximation.
