object Struct Reference

#include <novas.h>

Data Fields
char	name [SIZE_OF_OBJ_NAME]
	name of the object (0-terminated)
long	number
	enum novas_planet, or minor planet ID (e.g. NAIF), or star catalog ID.
novas_orbital	orbit
	orbital data for NOVAS_ORBITAL_OBJECT type.
cat_entry	star
	basic astrometric data for NOVAS_CATALOG_OBJECT type.
enum novas_object_type	type
	NOVAS object type.

Detailed Description

Celestial object of interest.

Note, the memory footprint is different from NOVAS C due to the use of the enum vs short 'type' and the long vs. short 'number' values – hence it is not cross-compatible for binary data exchange with NOVAS C 3.1.
