29. The absolute wavelength numbers of the fluorescence given in the paper correspond to the calibration and correction curves as established for the various experimental setups (steady-state fluorescence spectrometer and the two different streak camera setups). These experiments were not cross-calibrated, and calibrations and corrections might have shifted over time. Thus, slight differences in absolute values for the emission maxima as obtained from various experiments might be attributed to these experimental uncertainties.
