Notes. 

(A)

The distance, d, is computed from the Hipparcos parallax (h) (van Leeuwen, 2007) or via the period-luminosity relation (Sect. 5.1). For unavailable and uncertain Hipparcos measurements we adopt the PL distance (indicated in boldface).

(B)

R0 is the stand-off distance of the bow shock with respect to the star. The theoretical R0 is derived from Eq. (2), using the adopted stellar parameters for v, vw, , nH (this Table and Sect. 4.1).

(C)

For Class I objects the observed (de-projected) R0 is derived from the measured angular distance A and B (Sect. 4.1). For Class II and III objects we give the (angular and physical) radial distance for each arc and the ring, respectively.

(D)

nH (cm-3) from Eq. (5).

(E)

z is the distance from the Galactic plane (z(pc) = d sin b + 15, with d the distance and b the Galactic latitude); (Sect. 5).

(F)

vw is the terminal velocity of the CO envelope.

(G)

The peculiar space velocity (and proper motions and radial velocities) have been corrected for the solar motion [(U, V, W) = (11.10, 12.24, 7.25) km s-1] (Schönrich et al. 2010).

(H)

Proper motion, μ (mas yr-1) from μα and μδ (van Leeuwen 2007) and corresponding sky position angle from north to east.

(I)

nH inferred from observed R0 and Eq. (2).

(J)

Type gives circumstellar envelope chemistry (oxygen (O) vs. carbon (C) rich) and the central star’s spectral type.

(*)

show a combination of two types of interaction: an inner spherical ring, together with an outer extended structure.

(**)

either a typical Fermata bow shock or a spherical ring.
