8 19 is the first non-obvious torus knot in the table - it is in fact T(4,3). It is also the pretzel knot P(3,3,-2).

8_19 is the first non-homologically thin knot in the Rolfsen table. (That is, it's the first knot whose Khovanov homology has 'off-diagonal' elements.)

The above data is available with the Mathematica package KnotTheory`, as shown in the (simulated) Mathematica session below. Your input (in red) is realistic; all else should have the same content as in a real mathematica session, but with different formatting. This Mathematica session is also available (albeit only for the knot 5_2) as the notebook PolynomialInvariantsSession.nb.

Khovanov Homology

The coefficients of the monomials $t^{r}q^{j}$ are shown, along with their alternating sums $\chi$ (fixed $j$, alternation over $r$). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where $j-2r=s+1$ or $j-2r=s+1$, where $s=$6 is the signature of 8 19. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
