The JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) is an astronomy database about small Solar System bodies.It is maintained by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and NASA and provides data for all known asteroids and several comets, including orbital parameters and diagrams, physical diagrams, close approach details, radar astrometry, discovery circumstances, alternate designations and lists of publications ...
The JPL Small-Body Database gives a running total of 676,786 unnumbered minor planets. [ 2 ] [ a ] The tables below contain 95 objects with a principal designation assigned between 1927 and 1993.
Recent citations can also be found on the JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB). [3] Until his death in 2016, German astronomer Lutz D. Schmadel compiled these citations into the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names (DMP) and regularly updated the collection. [4] [5]
JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System provides access to key Solar System data and flexible production of highly accurate ephemerides for Solar System objects. Osculating elements at a given epoch (such as produced by the JPL Small-Body Database ) are always an approximation to an object's orbit (i.e. an unperturbed conic orbit or a " two-body ...
The JPL Small-Body Database estimates that it came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) around the year 1888 ± 15. [3] JPL estimates aphelion (farthest distance from the Sun) to be in 2238 at 128 AU [9] whereas Project Pluto (which only fit 5 of the 8 observations) estimates aphelion was in 2015 at 86 AU. [10] As the JPL solution fits ...
[2] [3] [5] The larger the number, the larger the uncertainty. The uncertainty parameter is also known as condition code in JPL's Small-Body Database Browser. [3] [5] [6] The U value should not be used as a predictor for the uncertainty in the future motion of near-Earth objects. [2]
The Minor Planet Center (MPC) classifies it as a cubewano. [3] But since this object has an inclination of 19.3°, ... (145452) 2005 RN43 at the JPL Small-Body Database.
The article name contains diacritics (e.g. 2867 Šteins) - JPL Small Body Database does not support diacritics. In this case, use {{JPL small body|id=2002867}} The article name contains apostrophes (e.g. 21774 O'Brien) - a bug in the MediaWiki urlencode function results in a malformed external link. In this case, use {{JPL small body|id=2021774}}.
