Entry: Northern Crown( Coronae Borealis) - A7783941
Author: Shagbark - U170775

Here is the latest version of my article on the Northern crown.

now including a link to the Galactic supercluster

Hi Shagbark you have a few empty cells there and sentences not complete.
I dont understand this *T CrB lies a little bit to the south east of ε CrB.*
Jupitar should be Jupiter.

Nother

I think I clarified the matter of T CrB and corrected the spelling of Jupitar.
the empty cells are because there is no common name for the other stars.

The *remarks* column has empty cells as well.

that is because we do not have remarks on that star. I will see if I can remove these cells.

This is about the best I can do.

Hi Shagbark,

There are some words that need capitals. Also the words in a Header need separating,

e.g

More on the greek mythology can be read at greek myth > Greek and Greek

A christian myth might equate it to .... > Christian


TheStars > The Stars

.22A > 0.22A

Oops, that should be .22AU > 0.22AU, of course

Hi Shagbark, I feel it would be more helpful to add info rather than remove it. When you say "we do not have remarks on that star" would you like me to provide it for you, as I have an up-to-date Atlas of the Universe (2007) which has most generous info.

You're using Cefpret's original template, which unfortunately has some mashed-up code, and the sub-ed will probably get a headache dealing with it. I would gladly tell you what to change if you feel you can attempt it but I don't want to confuse you. I made my own constellation template which I am willing to share, or I can just tell you what is wrong, whichever you prefer.

I sup[pose it would be simpler where the table is messed up to just paste in a new table to replace the old.
If we are dealing with non table sections like needing a header
or changing how a paragraph is formatted I think petrhaps you could just tell me what needs changing. My wife gets after me for not attributing things. she says I am stealing peoples ideas without giving them credit.
Do you get that impression?

I note that on Ursa major I didn't even use a remarks column.
that would be one way to cut down on empty squares

You're very welcome to use my table, it's not stealing if it's offered

The code...do you see those "entity tags"? well they need replacing with the correct Guide-ML and you need another column to list the star name in case people don't understand the first column, have a look at my constellation entries in PR, I list the catalogue then star name/designation (writing the star name out in full) if you want to check the correct code:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/test29441234
is my template

The accepted code for the EG is: A1098876 (Named entity)

You do need to list the catalogue then star name/designation (writing the star name out in full) because most people don't understand the alpha letter then the short form of the constellation.
All you need to do is squeeze Designation in the table border between Star and Brightness (m</SUP&gt
then in each cell list: Alpha CrB (etc)

This has been mentioned in other constellation PR threads and is now the accepted norm.
I would also suggest linking to A216073 The Greek Alphabet and explain how the nomenclature of the stars.


You mention one planetary solar system the Rho Coronae Borealis system, but a quick check I have found three: rho CrB; kappa CrB and XO-1.
http://exoplanet.eu/catalog-all.php
Where there's more than one I generally make another table so I can give the info (comparative Jupiter size, distance from star etc)because I consider this important information. You'll find the table on my constellation template which you're welcome to use

I have completely redone the tables- have a look

very well done

glad you approve where do we go from here?

strange placement for a smiley

You could check the Entry for basic errors, like:

<>
needs a gap between "in2007"
and typos Jupitar/Jupiter "orbitying" "at as distance"

Footnote 4:
<>
should be
D Trilling, R Brown and A Rivkin.
Footnote 2 needs a full-stop.
Footnote 3 M.Kato should be M Kato and needs to end with a full-stop.

<>
I think the last sentence there is mute.

<>
(the head of the snake).

"...planet orbiting about .22 AU". > 0.22 AU

"...the mass of Jupiter orbiting .0488AU every four days". > 0.0488 AU.
