Hi everyone,

Resolution 3 of the 27th CGPM introduces 4 new decimal prefixes :

https://www.bipm.org/en/cgpm-2022/resolution-3

10^27 	ronna 	


        R

10^–27 	ronto 	


        r

10^30 	quetta 	


        Q

10^–30 	quecto 	


        q

I don't think they pose any issue with what we have in VOUnits.
https://ivoa.net/documents/VOUnits/20220525/index.html

R is also used for rayleigh, but because bare unit prefixes are 
ungrammatical,
I don't think they pose any issue in the parsing.

I suggest these could be added to the Table 3 of the VOUnits document.

Sébastien
