Notes. The table contains the respective particle’s heliocentric spacecraft speed, v_U; the measurement-derived impact speed, v_msr; the most likely reconstructed heliocentric speed according to Eq. (C.1), v_rec, hel, assuming the particle came exactly from the boresight direction; the range of the same taking into account a finite detector opening angle of 70°, $v_{rec, hel}^{[\pm 70 °]}$ $v_{\mathrm{rec,hel}}^{[\pm{70}\circ]}$ ; the range of the same further taking into account the error factor, err_v = 1.9, of the measurement-derived impact speed, $v_{rec, hel}^{[\pm 70 °], [\pm 1.9]}$ $v_{\mathrm{rec,hel}}^{[\pm{70}\circ],[\pm1.9]}$ ; the local heliocentric speeds for a circular orbit, v_°, parabolic orbit, v_esc, and hyperbolic ISD orbit, v_ISD, hel, at that heliocentric distance, assuming the β-ratio that corresponds to the measurement-derived mass; and the deviation of the detector boresight from the assumed ISD inflow direction, Δϕ_ISD, assuming that the dust particle came from the detector boresight with a relative speed of v_msr or v_iter, respectively (cf. Sect. 6.2.3). All speeds are given in units of km/s. Italicised values were calculated with the iteratively calculated relative speed instead of the measurement-derived impact speed.
