Template:Starbox astrometry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Astrometry

---

This is part of a group of templates that are used to display astronomical information related to a specific star. It should always be preceded by a {{Starbox begin}} template. The template can then be used as follows:

{{Starbox astrometry
| radial_v = <!--Radial velocity (in km/sec)-->
| prop_mo_ra = <!--Proper motion (RA), μα cos δ (in milliarcsec/yr)-->
| prop_mo_dec = <!--Proper motion (dec), μδ (in milliarcsec/yr)-->
| parallax = <!--Parallax (in milliarcsec)-->
| p_error = <!--Parallax error (in milliarcsec)-->
| parallax_footnote = <!--Parallax footnote-->
| dist_ly = <!--Distance (in light years)-->
| dist_pc = <!--Distance (in parsecs)-->
| space_v_u = <!--Space velocity (U), σu cos v w (in km/s)-->
| space_v_v = <!--Space velocity (V), σv cos w (in km/s)-->
| space_v_w = <!--Space velocity (W), σw (in km/s)-->
| absmag_v = <!--Absolute magnitude (Johnson-Cousins V system)-->
}}

Any of these parameters may be omitted. If all parameters that would be displayed on a given line are omitted, the line will be omitted from the infobox, except that, if dist_ly and dist_pc are omitted, but parallax is present, then the object's distance will be computed from parallax and, if present, p_error. For this calculation to work, footnotes and references for the parallax and its error should be placed in parallax_footnote rather than parallax or p_error.

This template can also be preceded or followed by other Starbox templates:

• {{Starbox image}}
• {{Starbox observe}}
• {{Starbox character}}
• {{Starbox astrometry}}
• {{Starbox visbin}}
• {{Starbox detail}}
• {{Starbox catalog}}
• {{Starbox reference}}

The list should then be closed with a {{Starbox end}} template.
