Data needed - Related bodies and their stats

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the need for comprehensive datasets that detail the gravitational relationships between various astronomical bodies, including moons, planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, clusters, and superclusters. Users express frustration over the lack of readily available information on pairs of these bodies, specifically their mass and distance from each other. A suggested resource is the Washington Visual Double Star Catalog, which contains over 140,000 entries, although it may not fully meet the user's requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational relationships in astrophysics
  • Familiarity with astronomical terminology and classifications
  • Basic knowledge of data cataloging and datasets
  • Experience with online astronomical databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Washington Visual Double Star Catalog for relevant data
  • Research the NASA Exoplanet Archive for additional astronomical data
  • Investigate the SIMBAD Astronomical Database for object relationships
  • Learn about data visualization tools for astronomical datasets
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, data scientists, and researchers interested in the gravitational dynamics of astronomical bodies will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
Are there data sets for pairs of astronomical bodies and their stats? (Edited)
I’m analysing the gravitational relationships between different mass astronomical bodies and am getting sick of having to individually google and document these.

Are there data sets out there that list pairs/sets of objects which includes their mass and distance from each other?

Including; Moons, Planets, Stars, Black Holes, Galaxies, Clusters and Superclusters.

I'm really hoping you meant astronomical bodies.
Even so, there are a lot of astronomical bodies, so the likelihood of finding information about pairs of them is close to nil.

I sure did mean astronomical! My bad!

Are astrological bodies weighed with Librae?
