a Notes: The table lists the observing date (Date), the orientation angle (Orient) measured North over East, the curvature (Curv), the distance of the arclet vertex from the nucleus (VerDist) and the minimum extension (MinExt) plus some comments. Abbreviations: nd = not detected, S = straight, C = clockwise, CC = counterclockwise, TW = tailward. The various structures are identified in Fig. 9.
