When using KRC on Asteroids the best practice is to:
 
::*For KRC Davinci Interface, use "minor" as the bodytype
 
::*For KRC Davinci interface, use quotation marks around the bodytype and body parameter (See Command Line Example Below)
 
::*For additional help see the [http://krc.mars.asu.edu/index.php?title=Advanced_Tutorial#Asteroids Asteroids section of the advanced tutorial]

General advice about using KRC on Exoplanets

A list of host stars is at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exoplanetary_host_stars
A table of known exo-planets is at

List of Goldilocks planets:

Orbital Information

All information is taken from exoplan.tab

Items commonly reported for exoPlanets that do not affect KRC:

  • M sin(i) Minimum mass (in mJupiter) (only as effect on GRAVity)
  • planet radius
  • argument of periastron, omega, degree. Angle between direction to Earth and to periastron +90, deg. Periastron is toward Earth (in the plane including the star, Earth and the orbit normal), and the probabilty of observing transit is highest, for omega=90 parsec= 2./(parallax in arcsec)
