This method is intended to people who want to retrieve the state vectors of asteroids at a reference epoch. The state vectors are those computed and stored in SkyBoT database. No ephemeris computation is performed. The data are just extracted from the database.
-class=<string> Allow to retrieve only the asteroids of the given population classes. Leave empty to get all bodies.
Use a comma separated list of classes to get the asteroids of the given population classes.
If set to 1 then the answer provides directly the data (uncompressed).
All input parameters are optional and can be omitted. In that case, the query requests the rectangular ephemerides of all known asteroids at the current epoch (now). The output is described in the following table and is available in VOTable, HTML, JSon or plain text format (cf. examples).
class string - Comma separated list of SkyBoT population classes empty Requested population classes as known by SkyBoT.
