• In \multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{$M_1$} ... what does @{} do? – Johannes_B Nov 25 '18 at 7:58
• Can you explain what the numbers in d{2.3} are meaning? I don't have the documentation at hand. – Johannes_B Nov 25 '18 at 8:07
• @Johannes_B - the @{} particle is there to suppress whitespace padding which would otherwise be inserted by LaTeX. The numerals before and after the decimal marker in d{2.3} signify the number of digits to be set aside by LaTeX. – Mico Nov 25 '18 at 8:07
• @Mico I know. I asked Elisabeth to explain it to me. – Johannes_B Nov 25 '18 at 8:08
• @Mico Indeed. I want to encourage her to think about the problem she has. Thinking is crucial to learn. Imho – Johannes_B Nov 25 '18 at 8:11

• The particle $M_1$ is actually placed correctly at the moment. (Recall that whitespace padding at both edges of the table is suppressed, courtesy of the @{} particles.) It's the \mc{(${\rm M_{\odot}}$)} item that is not placed correctly. Just as you did for the case of

\multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{$M_1$}


you have to write

\multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{($(\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$)}


in order to get the placement just right.

Note that {\rm ...} is badly deprecated in LaTeX documents. Don't use is. Intead, write \mathrm{...}.

• The d column type is meant to be employed if the numbers in the column need to be aligned on their decimal markers. If that's not the case, you shouldn't even be using the d column type. You haven't provided much information about the actual types of numbers that may occur in columns 2 and 3. Absent more specific information, all I can assume is that simple centering (via the c column type) is fine for these two columns.

• Thank you very much It works when I have \usepackage[czech,english]{babel} but not when I have \usepackage[czech]{babel} and when I have the first variant it works, but I have names of \tableofcontents, \listoffigures in final .pdf file in english. How it change please? – Elisabeth Nov 25 '18 at 9:45
• @Elisabeth - Did you try \usepackage[english,czech]{babel}? – Mico Nov 25 '18 at 9:48
• How can I plese delete two of columns? I eddited the question. – Elisabeth Nov 25 '18 at 10:38

I suggest using siunitx, which covers much more than dcolumn does.

Note that \rm has been deprecated for more than 20 years. The correct syntax is \mathrm{M}_{\odot}, but I added a couple of new commands for ease of input.
See also Slovak (and Czech) babel gives problems with cmidrule and cline for problems with \cmidrule.
