Nineteen-character identifier of a publication in the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) and other astronomy databases. Its fixed fields are the year (4 digits), the publication code (5 characters), the volume (4), a qualifier (1), the first page (4) and the initial of the first author's surname (1). Periods fill unused positions: 1970ApJ...161L..77K is a 1970 letter (L) in The Astrophysical Journal, volume 161, page 77, by Kemp and others. The qualifier can also hold a Physical Review issue as a lowercase letter, or the letter of an article number. The regexp is adapted from the Wikidata format of property P819, with any letter allowed as the qualifier.
