Infobox for articles on cometary globules.

Usage

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

Parameter documentation

Field Description
name Common name of the cometary globule. This field is required.
image Photograph of the globule. Preferably this should be a wide shot to show most/all of the globule 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 in the image field.
credit Credit for the photograph in the image field.
epoch The astronomical epoch of the globule coordinates (below). Normally this is [[J2000]].
class The Shapley–Sawyer Concentration Class of the globule .
constellation A link to the constellation where this globule is located.
dec The declination coordinate of the cluster mid-point. The {{DEC}} template should be used here. For example: {{DEC|±dd|mm|ss.d}}.
dist_ly This is an estimate of the cluster's distance from the Solar System in light years. The distances can be combined into a single field as: {{Convert|d.dd|kly|kpc|abbr=off|lk=on|sigfig=1}}.
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.
age The estimated age of the cluster, usually listed in [[Gigayear|Gyr]] (billions 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.
