The elements are obtained from the JPL Solar System Dynamics website. $T_{\rm P}$ is the epoch of the perihelion, e the eccentricity, q the perihelion distance in AU, Aph the aphelion distance, i the inclination on the ecliptic, P the period, $T_{\rm J}$ the Tisserand parameter relative to Jupiter, the last columns give the classification according to Levison (1996) and Horner et al. (2003). The subdivision I-IV based on $T_{\rm J}$ is given for the SP comets only, all others being of the sub-type I.
