The INES Name Resolver
|
Starting in Version 3.0 INES incorporates a Name Resolver, which
allows to query the database by any of the names of the desired object.
-
For stellar and extragalactic objects, the search is made in all
the names of the object existing in the SIMBAD database as of June,
2000.
-
Planets and planetary satellites are searched by the plain object
name (e.g. Mars, IO).
-
Asteroids are designed either by their name
or by number and name (Ceres, 2 Pallas; see the list of Minor Planet
Names given by the IAU).
-
Comets designations are made according
to the IAU
recommendations.
In addition to this, names are also searched in the list of object
names provided by the Guest Observers at the time of the
observation and located in the image header, the observing scripts
or the hand-written log.
Each object has been assigned a "Homogeneous Object Identifier"
(HOI), only for output purposes. IUE specific observations have the
prefix IUE. Solar System objects have the prefix ZZ.
Objects in the Magellanic Clouds have the prefix MC.
For Novae and Supernovae the HOI is always "Nova" and "Supernova",
respectively, even if they are not located in the Galaxy.
Objects which do not have an individual entry in the CDS are
labeled with the prefix AOO (Any Other Object), e.g. AOO
FSSW 5
The following hierarchy has been adopted for HOIs:

Each HOI has its corresponding "Homogeneous Coordinates" (both for
B1950 and J2000). These coordinates have been obtained from SIMBAD,
and when not available in this database they have been set to those
provided by the Guest Observer at the time of the
observation. Comet coordinates for data acquired through 1989 have
been provided by M. Festou (ULDA Guide n.2: Comets, ESA-SP 1134,
May 1990). The coordinates of IUE specific observations have been
set to zero (except for "Sky" observations).
