Table information for 'moonsprop.epn_core'

General

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: This service provides the physical and dynamical characteristics of natural satellites in the Solar System: size, mass, rotational properties, magnitude and albedo, orbital elements. These quantities are taken from various publications listed under the bib_reference parameter. These data will be updated as new values are published.

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this table's resource, see Information on resource 'Properties of natural satellites'

Citing this table

This table has an associated publication. If you use data from it, it may be appropriate to reference various either in addition to or instead of the service reference.

To cite the table as such, we suggest the following BibTeX entry:
