Tables

name description columns
SSObject LSST-computed per-object quantities. 80
SSSource LSST-computed per-source quantities. 1::1 relationship with DiaSource. 39
mpc_orbits Table of orbital elements and related information of known (sun-orbiting and unbound) Solar System objects. Replicated from the Minor Planet Center (Postgres) database. This schema will generally closely follow the schema of the upstream table, to allow end-users to rerun queries developed elsewhere on the RSP. 53
current_identifications All single-designations, and all identifications between designations. Always uses primary provisional designation (even for numbered objects). Includes all comets and satellites. Replicated from the Minor Planet Center (Postgres) database. This schema will generally closely follow the schema of the upstream table, to allow end-users to rerun queries developed elsewhere on the RSP. 11
numbered_identifications The numbered identification table contains all the numbered objects (minor planets, comets and natural satellites) with their primary provisional designations. The table is continously updated everytime a new object is numbered. Replicated from the Minor Planet Center (Postgres) database. This schema will generally closely follow the schema of the upstream table, to allow end-users to rerun queries developed elsewhere on the RSP. 11
