Table information for 'vossp.bft_satellites'

General

Table Description: The ssoBFT is a broad and flat table that compiles all the property values of all the SSOs. This table gathers the natural satellites of solar system bodies. It is intended to people who want to make statistics or plots on SSO properties.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: The VO-IMCCE project is born in 2003. The first step was to make an interconnection between the VizieR service (CDS) and the service of calculation of asteroid ephemerides of the IMCCE. In 2004, we began the development of tools and services in the framework of the Virtual observatory. In 2005 the first version of the SkyBoT service is born to answer the simple question: which solar system bodies are visible in a given area of the sky at a given epoch? The service was put in production in January 2006 through a Web service, through the VO portal Aladin (CDS), and through various softwares, such as Audela and the WCS tools. A few months later, the Miriade services came out to provide new computing services of solar system body ephemerides.
