Template:Cite XHIP/doc

Usage

This template produces a standardised citation, and optionally a link to a VizeR query output, for a Hipparcos identifier.

Using this template provides uniform and accurate citations across large numbers of articles, and links directly to the relevant entry in the catalogue.

{{Cite XHIP}} can be used without parameters, in which case it generates just the standard citation. The single parameter is used to create a link to an individual entry in the VizieR database; this is optional but encouraged. The parameter should be a Hipparcos identifier number for an astronomical object.

For example, to link to the database entry for Sirius (HIP 32349):

• {{Cite XHIP|32349}}

returns
