Living Reviews links to SIMBAD database
Living Reviews in Relativity has introduced a new LaTeX macro that allows authors to link their articles to an identifier query in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database. SIMBAD provides basic data, cross-identifications, bibliography and measurements for astronomical objects outside the solar system. It currently contains information about more than 4.6 million objects with 235,000 bibliographical references.
Sample LRR articles linking to SIMBAD:
- “Binary and Millisecond Pulsars” by Duncan R. Lorimer (lrr-2008-8)
- “The Evolution of Compact Binary Star Systems” by Konstantin A. Postnov and Lev R. Yungelson (lrr-2006-6)
- “Testing General Relativity with Pulsar Timing” by Ingrid H. Stairs (lrr-2003-5)
