Usage

This template is used to cite entries in the JPL Small Body Database.

• |title= The title of the entry. (mandatory)
• |id= The SPK-ID of the entry. (mandatory)
• |access-date= The date at which you accessed the JPL Small Body Database (optional). Alias: accessdate.

For example,

• {{cite sbdb |title=433 Eros (1898 DQ) |id=2000433 |access-date=2012-03-19}}

gives

• "433 Eros (1898 DQ)". JPL Small-Body Database. Jet Propulsion Laboratory. SPK-ID: 2000433. Retrieved 2012-03-19.

Orbit diagram

• |orbit= if set to yes, gives the orbit diagram of the object

For example,

• {{cite sbdb |title=433 Eros (1898 DQ) |id=2000433 |orbit=yes |access-date=2012-03-19}}

gives

• "433 Eros (1898 DQ) orbit diagram". JPL Small-Body Database. Jet Propulsion Laboratory. SPK-ID: 2000433. Retrieved 2012-03-19.

Close-approach data

• |cad= if set to yes, gives the close-approach data of the object

For example,

• {{cite sbdb |title=433 Eros (1898 DQ) |id=2000433 |cad=yes |access-date=2012-03-19}}

gives

• "433 Eros (1898 DQ) close-approach data". JPL Small-Body Database. Jet Propulsion Laboratory. SPK-ID: 2000433. Retrieved 2012-03-19.

Covariance matrix

• |cov= if set to yes, gives the close-approach data of the object

For example,

• {{cite sbdb |title=433 Eros (1898 DQ) |id=2000433 |cov=yes |access-date=2012-03-19}}

gives

• "433 Eros (1898 DQ) covariance matrix". JPL Small-Body Database. Jet Propulsion Laboratory. SPK-ID: 2000433. Retrieved 2012-03-19..

Ephemeris

• |ephemeris= if set to yes, gives the ephemeris of the object

For example,

• {{cite sbdb |title=433 Eros (1898 DQ) |id=2000433 |ephemeris=yes |access-date=2012-03-19}}

gives

• "433 Eros (1898 DQ) ephemeris". JPL Small-Body Database. Jet Propulsion Laboratory. SPK-ID: 2000433. Retrieved 2012-03-19.
