This template is used to display information on a star system consisting of from 1 to 3 stars. The template should be used as shown below. Unused arguments may be omitted. Arguments containing _a give information for the first component. There are corresponding arguments with _b and _c which give information for the second and third components. For example, radius_b gives the radius of the second component.
Either the right ascension and declination of the center of mass of the system may be displayed, or these coordinates may be displayed for each component individually. Use of the {{RA}} template is recommended for formatting the right ascension, and the {{DEC}} template for formatting the declination. It may be advantageous to display the right ascension and declination on two lines, to avoid an excessively wide infobox.
If the argument parallax is provided and dist_ly and dist_pc are omitted, the distances will be calculated automatically from the parallax (and the parallax error p_error, if provided.)
