Notes. # – number of data points; ⟨ μ ⟩  (βapp), ⟨ μlower ⟩ , ⟨ μupper ⟩  – average component speed in mas year-1, in parentheses the apparent speed βapp, for Q9 and Q10 lower and upper limits of the component speeds; ⟨ Φ ⟩ , ⟨ Φlower ⟩ , ⟨ Φupper ⟩  – average position angle of the component motion in degree, for Q9 and Q10 lower and upper limits; τe (τlower, τupper) – Ejection epoch/time of zero separation from component labeled Q0, determined through linear extrapolation using the average component speed and component position at the midpoint, tmid = 0.5·(tmax − tmin), of the respective dataset, for Q9 and Q10 lower and upper limits; S1, S2 – maximum, minimum (at the time of maximum absolute value of the time derivative) component flux density in units of Jy; d1, d2 – circular Gaussian-modelfit component FWHM in units of mas at the time of S1, S2; dt – time between Smax and Smin in units of years; Δtvar – time variability factor in units of years; δvar, Γvar, Θvar – derived quantities of the variability Doppler and Lorentz factors, and the viewing angle to the line of sight in degrees (*) – indicator whether component was accelerating (yes) or not (no). The asymptotic standard errors in the fits were determined statistically using an implementation of the nonlinear least squares Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm with the position errors as weights. Errors in the derived parameters are 68% confidence limits determined through Monte Carlo simulations.
