Erratum: On the binding energy parameter λ of common envelope evolution (ApJ (2010) 716 (114))

Abstract

There are errors in the λ fitting tables of the published article. Wrong data were used in the fitting process for several stars. We have refitted the data and made the necessary changes to the tables. The errors have no influence on our conclusion and changes are only made to the tables. Lists of errors and corrections are as follows. In Table 1, stage 2, for 12, 14, 16, and 20 M⊙ stars, we find that using R as the fitting parameter gives better results than menv and we have deleted the "b" table note on those rows. We also provide corrected versions of Tables 1 and 2 for convenience. © 2010. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in the U.S.A.
