1 is
the heliocentric distance adopted for the analysis (see Sect. 2.4
for the adopted criteria). ``I'' and ``O'' refer to whether the comet
was inbound (pre-perihelion) or
outbound (post-perihelion). Appearance (S - stellar, A -
active, N - not detected) is the same indicated in Table 1. q and a are the present perihelion distance and semi-major axis, respectively (derived from the JPL Horizon Data Base).
