Table information for 'mp3c_main.prop_mass'

General

Table Description: Mass measurements with bibliographic sources.

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

Resource Description: This service publishes minor body data, including orbits, masses, diameters, albedos, families and magnitudes. The tables have the same format as those used by the Minor Planet Physical Properties Catalogue (MP3C) user-friendly interface at https://mp3c.oca.eu/ and let you run more complex queries than the web interface.

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this table's resource, see Information on resource 'Minor Planet Physical Properties Catalogue - Website mirror'
