Template:LCDB
Description
This template creates an external link for a given minor planet to Brian D. Warner's Light Curve Data Base (LCDB) at www.minorplanet.info, which follows the ALCDEF-specification (see "The Asteroid Lightcurve Data Exchange Format Standard", documentation). As of 2018, the LCDB contains photometric data, in particular, lightcurve measurements, for approximately 16,000 minor planets.
Usage
- The 1st parameter is for the minor planet's number (use
0if unnumbered) - The 2nd parameter is for the minor planet's provisional designation (use only if unnumbered)
Examples
- For 1222 Tina (numbered), use
{LCDB|1222}– This produces the following external link → LCDB
- For 2004 XP14 (unnumbered), use
{LCDB|0|2004+XP14}– This produces the following external link → LCDB
Notes
- Provisional designations: spaces must be replaced with
+or with%20(see examples below). - The 2nd parameter is optional for numbered minor planets, but required for unnumbered bodies, since their number part is always zero.
- For custom designated LCDB-entries are formatted identically, i.e. use
{LCDB|0|Derm4c}to produce a link to "Derm4c" (LCDB). - The target website at LCDB uses a non-UTF-8 encoding format. This makes the use of the magic word {urlencode:} impossible.
