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":"ugc-11866","name":"UGC 11866","class":"intermediate_spiral_galaxy_sab","category":"galaxy","object_type":"Intermediate spiral galaxy SAB","mag":15,"mag_band":"B","abs_mag":-17.30807828121805,"abs_mag_band":"B","distance_ly":94415116.08646078,"distance_method":"luminosity distance from a photometric redshift (GLADE+), flat ΛCDM with H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc","ra_deg":329.642853,"dec_deg":14.123624,"epoch_ra_deg":329.967495,"epoch_dec_deg":14.25172,"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":"Pegasus","discovered":null,"featured":false,"url":"https://spacecatalog.org/object/ugc-11866","radius_km":null,"radius_kind":null,"data_quality":null,"description":null,"properties":{"b_mag":15,"h_mag":14.447,"j_mag":15.093,"k_mag":13.776,"redshift":0.00581049290525,"hubble_type":"SAB","redshift_cmb":0.0067247219149071,"uncertainties":{"distance_ly":[17015424.9226735,17042958.237373024],"stellar_mass_solar":[93422077.46633995,93422077.46633995]},"major_axis_arcmin":0.753667,"minor_axis_arcmin":0.61258,"morphology_source":"SIMBAD (2019MNRAS.488.2175B, quality C)","position_angle_deg":1,"stellar_mass_solar":186844154.9326799},"designations":[{"catalog":"2MASX","designation":"2MASX 21583428+1407250"},{"catalog":"PGC","designation":"PGC 67759"},{"catalog":"WISExSCOS","designation":"WISExSCOS J215834.25+140724.6"}],"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.
