Summary of geometric and dynamical properties of the jet components discussed in Sects. 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.

ID	β_app	θ	Γ	δ
	(c)	(°)
Curved jet case ^(a)
C0-1		≤1.5	≥20	≥32
C0-2	20 ± 1	≤2.9	≥20	≥20
C1-0/1/2	(13 − 15)±2	≥6 − 8	≥20	≤5 − 7

Straight jet case ^(b)
C1-0/1/2	(13 − 15)±2	2	16 − 17	24 − 25

Notes.

^(a)

The same Lorentz factor but different viewing angles for the jet features. For C0 subcomponents we presume the small θ case, while for C1 we presume the large θ case (see Sects. 4.2.1 and 4.2.2).

^(b)

Assumes a constant fixed viewing angle of θ = 2°.
