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.
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}}.
The list of minor planets consists of more than 700 partial lists, each containing 1000 minor planets grouped into 10 tables. The data is sourced from the Minor Planet Center (MPC) and expanded with data from the JPL SBDB (mean-diameter), Johnston's archive (sub-classification) and others (see detailed field descriptions below).
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]
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 ...
