Notes. Column “p-f” gives the flux per year considering an initial population of 1012 comets for the “total” line (given by the “set” column), otherwise it gives the proportion of the observable class (given by the “set” column). Column “ret” gives the proportion (in percent) of retrograde orbits for each set. Columns to give the minimal, 10th, 25th, median, 75th, and 90th percentiles, and maximal values of the original semi-major axis for each set of observable comets (unit is 1000 au).
