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":"hd-106612","name":"HD 106612","class":"f5_6v_yellow_white_main_sequence_star","category":"star","object_type":"F5/6V yellow-white main-sequence star","mag":6.53,"mag_band":"V","abs_mag":2.317,"abs_mag_band":"V","distance_ly":226.97026631481543,"distance_method":"parallax","ra_deg":183.94459500000002,"dec_deg":-23.353902,"epoch_ra_deg":184.292533,"epoch_dec_deg":-23.503568,"epoch_moved_arcsec":1.065,"pm_ra_mas_yr":-0.15,"pm_dec_mas_yr":-39.92,"orbits":null,"semi_major_axis_km":null,"periapsis_km":null,"mass_kg":null,"mass_msun":null,"constellation":"Corvus","discovered":null,"featured":false,"url":"https://spacecatalog.org/object/hd-106612","radius_km":null,"radius_kind":null,"data_quality":null,"description":null,"properties":{"wds_id":"12158-2321","companions":[{"measured":2020,"magnitude":8.22,"components":null,"discoverer_code":"BU  920","separation_arcsec":1.9,"position_angle_deg":307}],"spectral_type":"F5/6V","color_index_bv":0.46,"luminosity_solar":10.308607400626256,"radial_velocity_km_s":18,"spectral_type_source":"SIMBAD (1988MSS...C04....0H, quality D)","surface_temperature_k":6474,"proper_motion_ra_mas_yr":-0.15,"proper_motion_dec_mas_yr":-39.92,"stellar_parameters_method":"Spectroscopic determinations compiled from the literature (PASTEL, Soubiran+ 2016)"},"designations":[{"catalog":"HD","designation":"HD 106612"},{"catalog":"HIP","designation":"HIP 59801"},{"catalog":"HR","designation":"HR 4661"}],"source":{"id":"hyg","name":"HYG Database v4.1","url":"https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database","license":"CC-BY-SA-4.0"},"updated_at":"2026-09-02T19:50:56.720Z","attribution":"Data from SpaceCatalog.org.
