Notes. This is an updated and enriched version of Table 1 from Królikowska & Dones (2023) (with new Columns [6]–[10]). We list the comets’ perihelion distances (q), their heliocentric distances at discovery and in their earliest pre-discovery detection, and their dates of perihelion passage Tper. Values for 1/aori (Column [6]) and dynamical status estimates (Columns [7]–[8]) are given for the PB solutions in the CODE. Dynamical status is given according to the statistics of 5001 VC qprev values. DN, DU, and DO refer to the dynamically new, dynamically uncertain, and dynamically old comet, respectively, and a two digit number given in a few cases after the status mean the percentage of VCs having the declared status. The last column gives an ordinal number of a comet when sorted by q.
