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":"k2-342-b","name":"K2-342 b","class":"neptune_like_planet","category":"exoplanet","object_type":"Neptune-like planet","mag":null,"mag_band":null,"abs_mag":null,"abs_mag_band":null,"distance_ly":679.5696439192751,"distance_method":"NASA Exoplanet Archive sy_dist (TICv8, 2019AJ....158..138S)","ra_deg":133.1218996,"dec_deg":21.2386816,"epoch_ra_deg":133.508775,"epoch_dec_deg":21.137781,"epoch_moved_arcsec":null,"pm_ra_mas_yr":null,"pm_dec_mas_yr":null,"orbits":"K2-342","semi_major_axis_km":null,"periapsis_km":null,"mass_kg":2.8546962408042795e+25,"mass_msun":0.0000143567,"constellation":"Cancer","discovered":"2021","featured":false,"url":"https://spacecatalog.org/object/k2-342-b","radius_km":12947.543,"radius_kind":null,"data_quality":null,"description":null,"properties":{"host_star":"K2-342","host_v_mag":11.338,"uncertainties":{"radius_km":[574.029,829.153],"distance_ly":[5.5642278038476425,5.655551589608331],"host_mass_solar":[0.05,0.05],"host_radius_solar":[0.03,0.03],"host_temperature_k":[104,104],"orbital_period_days":[0.000668,0.00069]},"host_mass_solar":1.01,"stars_in_system":1,"discovery_method":"Transit","host_radius_solar":1.09,"planets_in_system":1,"discovery_facility":"K2","host_temperature_k":5920,"orbital_period_days":11.561052,"transit_midpoint_bjd":2458099.10726,"equilibrium_temperature_k":861},"designations":[{"catalog":"Exoplanet","designation":"K2-342 b"},{"catalog":"Host star","designation":"K2-342"}],"source":{"id":"exoplanet_archive","name":"NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems Composite Parameters)","url":"https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/nph-tblView?app=ExoTbls&config=PSCompPars","license":"Public domain (NASA)"},"updated_at":"2026-09-02T19:50:56.720Z","attribution":"Data from SpaceCatalog.org.
