update for astroquery 0.4.9

[kelle]

In older versions of astroquery (0.4.7), the simbad table colnames were uppercase. In latest version of astroquery, simbad result tables have lower case column names.

get_simbad_names:
temp = [_name_formatter(s) for s in t["id"].tolist()]

there's also an RA somewhere.

if 'RA' in simbad_result_table.colnames:
                ra_col_name = 'RA'
                dec_col_name = 'DEC'
            elif 'ra' in simbad_result_table.colnames:
                ra_col_name = 'ra'
                dec_col_name = 'dec'
            simbad_coords = (
                simbad_result_table[ra_col_name][0] + " " + simbad_result_table[dec_col_name][0]
            )

Astroquery 0.4.8 introduced a TAP backend for the Simbad queries which forces the column names to be lower-case. This is a breaking change but is not super well documented, it's in the pull request: astropy/astroquery#2954
