Reference Frame | Unitless | Text | The reference frame of the astrometric data: J2000 or ICRF. |
Right Ascension | LongitudeUnit | Real Number | The signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis. |
Declination | AngleUnit | Real Number | The signed angle measured from the XY plane to the position vector, where positive angles are used for locations above the XY plane, and negative for those below. |
