Name Dimension Type Description
Time DateFormat Real Number Time.
x Unitless Real Number First component of the selected vector expressed in the reference set of axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the x-axis of the reference set.
y Unitless Real Number Second component of the selected vector expressed in the reference set of axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the y-axis of the reference set.
z Unitless Real Number Third component of the selected vector expressed in the reference set of axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the z-axis of the reference set.
Magnitude Unitless Real Number Magnitude of the selected vector.
x/Magnitude Unitless Real Number First component of the unit vector along the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the x-axis of the reference coordinate system.
y/Magnitude Unitless Real Number Second component of the unit vector along the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the y-axis of the reference coordinate system.

RightAscension LongitudeUnit Real Number Right ascension of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system, Represents the angle between the x-axis of the reference coordinate system and projection of the displacement vector onto the xy-plane of the reference coordinate system. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
Declination LatitudeUnit Real Number Declination of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system, Represents the angle between the displacement vector and its projection onto the xy-plane of the reference coordinate system. The angle is positive when the displacement vector is directed toward positive z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
Co-Declination AngleUnit Real Number Co-Declination of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system, Represents the angle between the displacement vector and z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
NegativeDeclination AngleUnit Real Number Negative declination of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system, Represents the angle between the displacement vector and its projection onto the xy-plane of the reference coordinate system. The angle is positive for vectors directed toward negative z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
DirectionAngle x AngleUnit Real Number Angle between the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system and the x-axis of the reference coordinate system.
DirectionAngle y AngleUnit Real Number Angle between the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system and the y-axis of the reference coordinate system.
DirectionAngle z AngleUnit Real Number Angle between the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system and the z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
