Infobox for articles on globular clusters.

Usage

Fields should generally be directly from the source, such as SIMBAD. Wikilinks and expansion of abbreviations are acceptable.

Example infobox

The following parameters can be used to create a globular cluster infobox. Please remove any parameters that are not likely to be useful.

Parameter documentation

Field Description
name Common name of the globular cluster. This field is required.
image Photograph of the cluster. Preferably this should be a wide shot to show most/all of the globular cluster rather than a view from within it. Include the "File:" prefix and a width of 300px. If uploading a new image, please put them on Commons so they can be easily used by the other language Wikipedias.
caption Description of the photograph which is displayed above.
credit Credit for the image.
epoch The astronomical epoch of the cluster coordinates (below). Normally this is [[J2000]].
class The Shapley–Sawyer Concentration Class of the cluster.
constellation A link to the constellation where this cluster is located.
ra The right ascension coordinate of the cluster mid-point. The {{RA}} template should be used here. For example: {{RA|16|17|02.51}}.
dec The declination coordinate of the cluster mid-point. The {{DEC}} template should be used here. For example: {{DEC|–22|58|30.4}}.
dist_ly This is an estimate of the cluster's distance from the Solar System in light years.
dist_pc This should be the same distance as dist_ly using parsec as the units. A parsec is equal to 3.2616 light years.
appmag_v The apparent magnitude of the cluster.
size_v This gives the angular size, usually in arc minutes or arc seconds.
mass_msol The estimated total mass in solar masses.
mass_kg The same value as above, using kilograms as units. A solar mass is equal to 2 × 1030 kg
v_hb The visual magnitude of the horizontal branch stars in the cluster
age The estimated age of the cluster, usually listed in Myr (millions of years).
notes Additional details of significance.
names A comma separated list of used alternative cluster names. These are names that are commonly used in scholarly journal articles, such as the New General Catalogue (NGC) name.
