Template:JPL+CAD/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This template, {{JPL+CAD}}, creates two external links to the JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) for a specific near-Earth object. The first link leads to the general object page (labelled "JPL"), while the second link directly shows the close approach data section (labelled "CAD").

Parameter

[edit]

The template only requires the body's unique identifier, such as a minor planet's number. For example:

Instead of an asteroid's number, several other identifiers are also possible:

  • {{JPL+CAD|2099942}} produces JPL · CAD, for 99942 Apophis using the object's SPK-ID instead
  • {{JPL+CAD|2012+UE34}} produces JPL · CAD, for provisionally designated asteroid 2012 UE34 (use the "+"-sign)
  • {{JPL+CAD|104P}} produces JPL · CAD, for numbered comet 104P/Kowal (use number and letter P only)
  • {{JPL+CAD|P/1999+J6}} produces JPL · CAD, for unnumbered comet P/1999 J6 (note the "+"-sign)

For more information, and to create a single link to the "Close approach data" section, see template {{JPL}}
