Notes. Column 1: label of maser cluster; Col. 2: range of l.o.s. velocity in the cluster ([min, max]); Cols. 3, 4: averaged tangential velocity (toward east and north) weighted by the error of each spot’s proper motion with uncertainty estimated as a weighted standard deviation; Col. 5: number of maser spots used to determine the average proper motion of cluster.
