Notes. The table lists the date of observations (YYMMDD), the heliocentric rh and geocentric distance Δ of the comet in AU, the phase angle (α), and the position angle of the extended Sun-comet radius vector (PAtail) and of the velocity vector (PAVel.). The last column gives the multiplicative factor for transforming the measurements to a phase equal to 0° (Schleicher 2010, priv. comm.).
