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