Example 1: Proxima Centauri[edit]

Example 2: Sirius[edit]

A binary star system. Note that right ascension, declination, radial velocity, and proper motion values as well as parallax and distance are all for the barycenter of the system. Age is also for the system as a whole. {{Starbox 2x | name=Sirius | component_a= [http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=name+sirius+a A] | component_b= [http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=name+sirius+b B] | image=[[Image:Position Alpha Cma.png|250px]] | caption=The position of Sirius. | epoch=[[J2000.0]] | equinox=[[J2000.0]] ([[International Celestial Reference System|ICRS]]) | constell=[[Canis Major]] | ra_system_h=06 | ra_system_m=45 | ra_system_s=08.9173 | radec_system_footnote=<ref name=simbada>[http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=name+sirius+a Database entry for Sirius A], [[SIMBAD]].
