The catalogued J2000 position is carried along the great circle the object's own published motion puts it on, at a constant velocity, and the result is referred to the true equator and equinox of this instant. Those are separate things: the motion moves the object, and the rotation turns the grid under it by about fifty arcseconds a year, with nutation adding up to another seventeen.","excluded":"Parallax, the radial-velocity perspective term, aberration and refraction; each is below the accuracy of the catalogued positions themselves. An object with no published proper motion comes back where the catalogue has it rather than at a fabricated zero, and says so with a null pm_ra_mas_yr. A body with no fixed position is not propagated at all — its place comes from an ephemeris, which is what /api/v1/visible answers with."},"slug":"eso-014-001","name":"ESO 014-001","class":"spiral_galaxy","category":"galaxy","object_type":"Spiral galaxy","mag":13.816,"mag_band":"B","abs_mag":-20.369172485777263,"abs_mag_band":"B","distance_ly":224109554.54418686,"distance_method":"luminosity distance from a spectroscopic redshift (GLADE+), flat ΛCDM with H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc","ra_deg":36.075489,"dec_deg":-79.925385,"epoch_ra_deg":35.938255,"epoch_dec_deg":-79.803072,"epoch_moved_arcsec":null,"pm_ra_mas_yr":null,"pm_dec_mas_yr":null,"orbits":null,"semi_major_axis_km":null,"periapsis_km":null,"mass_kg":null,"mass_msun":null,"constellation":"Hydrus","discovered":null,"featured":false,"url":"https://spacecatalog.org/object/eso-014-001","radius_km":null,"radius_kind":null,"data_quality":null,"description":null,"properties":{"b_mag":13.816,"h_mag":11.915,"j_mag":12.639,"k_mag":11.686,"redshift":0.0149,"hubble_type":"9.0","redshift_cmb":0.0158532011991727,"uncertainties":{"distance_ly":[11836035.563355384,11838078.566650633],"stellar_mass_solar":[1868334169.6738985,1868334169.6738985]},"major_axis_arcmin":0.52,"minor_axis_arcmin":0.426,"morphology_source":"SIMBAD (1989ESOLV.C......0L, quality D)","position_angle_deg":0,"stellar_mass_solar":2802501254.5108476},"designations":[{"catalog":"2MASX","designation":"2MASX 02241811-7955313"},{"catalog":"PGC","designation":"PGC 9123"},{"catalog":"WISExSCOS","designation":"WISExSCOS J022417.87-795531.6"}],"source":{"id":"glade_plus","name":"GLADE+ (Galaxy List for the Advanced Detector Era)","url":"https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/VII/291","license":"VizieR terms; cite Dalya+ 2022 (2022MNRAS.514.1403D)"},"updated_at":"2026-09-02T19:50:56.720Z","attribution":"Data from SpaceCatalog.org.
