¹ When not specified, the comet pertains to the family of Ecliptic Comets, which has a quasi-correspondance with the traditional group of the Jupiter family comets. ETC means Encke-Type Comet, HTC means Halley-Type Comet, this latter pertaining to the family of Nearly Isotropic Comets (together with the Long Period Comets). $r_{\rm h}$ : heliocentric distance of observation. Superscripts ``I'' and ``O'' refer to whether the comet was inbound (pre-perihelion) or outbound (post-perihelion). Telesc.: telescope (with aperture diameter) used for the observation. Obs. date: observing date. Appearance: S - stellar, A - active, N - not detected. Notes on the appearance: ⁽¹⁾ visibly active; ⁽²⁾ activity detected by PSF or stellar comparison; ⁽³⁾ visibly active, with coma, tail, and/or Neck-Line; ⁽⁴⁾ observation of a distant coma emission in excess of a model nucleus; ⁽⁵⁾ nucleus seen as a compact source in the expected position, with a trail. ⁽⁶⁾ In the original paper, a warning is reported that the non-detection could be due to ephemerides uncertainty or a crowded field, therefore the magnitude of the target could be not constrained.
