Notes.

(a)

Integrated coma magnitude derived for all the filters in the reference optical aperture of ρ = 104 km, centred on the optocentre. The errors derive from the photometric calibration.

(b)

Colour indexes integrated in the reference optical aperture of ρ = 104 km, centred on the optocentre. The solar colours are those in the modern Johnson-Cousins system (Holmberg et al. 2006).
