Resource Description:
For a list of all services and tables belonging to this table's resource, see Information on resource 'Characteristics of Planets'
This table has an associated publication. If you use data from it, it may be appropriate to reference 2000asqu.book.....C (ADS BibTeX entry for the publication) either in addition to or instead of the service reference.
To cite the table as such, we suggest the following BibTeX entry:
