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-9610","name":"HD 9610","class":"k0iv_v_orange_subgiant","category":"star","object_type":"K0IV/V orange subgiant","mag":8.79,"mag_band":"V","abs_mag":3.429,"abs_mag_band":"V","distance_ly":385.07261347474054,"distance_method":"parallax","ra_deg":23.129009999999997,"dec_deg":-62.843824,"epoch_ra_deg":23.363702,"epoch_dec_deg":-62.705203,"epoch_moved_arcsec":2.39,"pm_ra_mas_yr":75.25,"pm_dec_mas_yr":48.66,"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/hd-9610","radius_km":null,"radius_kind":null,"data_quality":null,"description":null,"properties":{"wds_id":"01325-6251","companions":[{"measured":2015,"magnitude":15.1,"components":null,"discoverer_code":"UC  573","separation_arcsec":33,"position_angle_deg":103}],"spectral_type":"K0IV/V","color_index_bv":0.88,"luminosity_solar":3.701689610332347,"radial_velocity_km_s":0,"spectral_type_source":"SIMBAD (1975MSS...C01....0H, quality D)","proper_motion_ra_mas_yr":75.25,"proper_motion_dec_mas_yr":48.66},"designations":[{"catalog":"HD","designation":"HD 9610"},{"catalog":"HIP","designation":"HIP 7177"}],"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.
