Astrometric Planetary Data Base

Astrometric Planetary Data Base Home Page

The creation of modern ephemerides involves the fitting of the planetary theories to a wide variety of astronometric measurements.

On the Astrometric Planetary Data Base (APDB) data used for the construction of the INPOP planetary ephemeridescan be found. The APDB gathers data provided by JPL, ESA, Institut of Applied Astronomy of St. Petersbourg (IAA) and U.S. Naval Observatory (Shapiro transit).

The JPL DE data collection can be found on JPL Planetary Ephemeris Data .

APDB is organised by planets, types of observations, and instituts providing datasets.
