How to query SIMBAD with NED identifiers ?

The URL is the same as the one used for SIMBAD identifiers : http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?

The following data has to be URL encoded.

Identifiers: Ident parameter

Several NED identifiers for the same object may be provided, separated by semi-colon ';'

Coordinates: Coord parameter

The coordinates may also be provided. They are sometimes necessary to make the SIMBAD name.

They have to be in Equatorial system, Equinox J2000.0. Several formats are recognized.

Identifier type: QueryType parameter

Add "&QueryType=ned" to the query.

Examples:

NED identifier Coordinates Query to SIMBAD
