Notas
[editar]La tabla de descubrimiento consta de los siguientes campos:
- Astrónomo e instituciones: enlaces al artículo correspondiente sobre el astrónomo descubridor o institución en Wikipedia. Si no está vinculado, el nombre que se muestra debe ser un redireccionamiento a esta lista. Por ejemplo, la página Masanao Abe reenvía a la tabla anclada Lista de planetas menores descubiertos § M. Abe usando el nombre del CPM del astrónomo como ID.
- Descubrimientos: muestra el número total de planetas menores descubiertos y co-descubiertos acreditados al descubridor (sólo cuerpos numerados). Se deja a la categoría correspondiente "Descubrimiento de ...", que son subcategorías de Categoría:Objetos astronómicos por descubridor y Categoría:Objetos astronómicos por lugar del descubrimiento, respectivamente. Tenga en cuenta que estas categorías no contienen ningún descubrimiento. Los astrónomos con solo unos pocos descubrimientos a menudo no tienen su propia categoría de descubrimiento (enlaces rojos). Normalmente no hay categorías vinculadas para astrónomos con un nombre desconocido.
- DOB-DOD y código Observatorio: muestra la fecha de nacimiento y muerte para los astrónomos, y alfanumérica de los Códigos UAI para las instituciones, respectivamente.
- País: nacionalidad del astrónomo o ubicación de la institución dedicada, respectivamente. A algunos descubridores se le han asignado dos etiquetas, siendo la primera la más adecuada para permitir una clasificación sensible por país.
- Etiqueta de enlace; información, enlaces y, notas: La' 'etiqueta de enlace' 'se utiliza para enlaces con el descubridor canalizado, destinados para uso en objetos del planeta menor y en la lista de planetas menores (ver índice). Después de la etiqueta de enlace, se da información adicional: esto incluye enlaces a fuentes externas (SRC), enlaces a la base de datos CPM (MPC, siglas en inglés) (ver aquí) para objetos descubiertos o co-descubiertos por el astrónomo, y enlaces trans-wiki a los artículos existentes sobre Wikipedia en francés, alemán e italiano. (Tenga en cuenta que la "etiqueta de enlace" debe estar separada por un punto y coma de toda la demás información).
- Nombre(s) en el CPM: muestra el nombre del descubridor y usadas por el CPM (MPC, siglas en inglés) en la versión (no- diacrítica, donde el primer nombre abreviado está escrito antes del apellido). Algunos descubridores tienen varios nombres debido a incoherencias y errores tipográficos. Por ejemplo, el MPC acredita algunos descubrimientos hechos por Spacewatch a Sapcewatch y Spacwatch : como en 266896 MPC y 265570 MPC, respectivamente.
- Cita: los descubridores del planeta menor a menudo son honrados con el nombre de asteroides por sus universidades. La cita asociada generalmente da el nombre completo del descubridor, su fecha de nacimiento e información biográfica adicional.
