11. We observe the resonance around 1208 ± 10 G, which agrees with the theoretical value within the systematic error of the magnetic field calibration which was done at low fields using rf spectroscopy.

13. This is an approximation, since the loss rates for condensate and noncondensate atoms are different due to quantum statistics.
