27th CGPM new decimal prefixes #21

Closed SebastienDerriere closed 1 year ago

SebastienDerriere commented 1 year ago

Resolution 3 of the 27th CGPM introduces 4 new decimal prefixes : https://www.bipm.org/en/cgpm-2022/resolution-3

I don't think they pose any issue with what we have in VOUnits.

R is also used for rayleigh, but because bare unit prefixes are ungrammatical, I don't think they pose any issue in the parsing. These could be added to the Table 3 of the VOUnits document.

This has been implemented in the unity library (issue); making the same changes to the text (shortly!) will be very straightforward.
