Solar System object semimajor axes given in km but labeled as au in portal #601

Closed sgreenstreet closed 5 months ago

When exploring the Fink portal for solar system objects, I noticed that the semimajor axes are listed as being given in au, but are actually given in km.

For example, as on this query page: https://fink-portal.org/ZTF23aabfojm, 163693 Atira has the following semimajor axis listed under "dynamical parameters": a (au): 110850862.8052

Either km or au are useful units for solar system objects, however, au may be the most useful option. In either case, the units listed should be in agreement with the value given.

Thank you @sgreenstreet ! Indeed the current display does not make sense. I will proceed with the required changes (AU).

(also -- you opened the issue on the fink-broker repository, and I transfer it in this repository which contains the code for the portal)
