Open mommermi opened 6 years ago
@mommermi - The MPC module has just been added in #1064
(I've also added checkboxes, so it's easier to see the progress)
@bsipocz - cool, less work for us :)
The current MPC module is useful, but covers only a small part of the actual MPC database. I am not sure if they already provide an API for their ephemeris service, but there is definitely one for their observation database. I can implement that into the current MPC module.
thank you, that would be great!
As part of the sbpy project, this summer we will also start working on the addition of:
thanks @gianninapr! I've added it to the list to the top, too.
@mommermi @migueldvb I've drafted up a docstring for getting ephemerides with the MPC class. How should I share that for review? Link to my branch here or make a pull request?
Wonderful! That will be very helpful. You can open a new PR with the WIP prefix (work in progress) in the title.
By the way, JPL Small-Body Database Search Engine was added in #1214 .
Hi @mommermi! We at Asteroid Institute have been wanting to create a query tool for NEODyS. If work hasn't been started on it to contribute to astroquery, would it be ok for us to contribute it?
Hi @carise , I'm not sure if Michael will reply, but I can comment. At sbpy, we don't have any specific plans for NEODyS and I'm not aware of any work on this elsewhere. So, your contribution sounds good to me.
As part of a NASA-funded project (sbpy), we will add a number of services to astroquery over the next three years. This list is just to provide a heads-up for everyone:
If you are interested in additional services, please reply to this thread and I will add them to the list.
