Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Time	DateFormat	Real Number	Time.
x	DimensionOfVector	Real Number	First component of the selected vector, expressed in ICRF axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the x-axis of the ICRF axes.
y	DimensionOfVector	Real Number	Second component of the selected vector, expressed in ICRF axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the y-axis of the ICRF axes.
z	DimensionOfVector	Real Number	Third component of the selected vector, expressed in ICRF axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the z-axis of the ICRF axes.
Magnitude	DimensionOfVector	Real Number	Magnitude of the selected vector.
x/Magnitude	Unitless	Real Number	First component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in ICRF axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the x-axis of the ICRF axes.
y/Magnitude	Unitless	Real Number	Second component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in ICRF axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the y-axis of the ICRF axes.
z/Magnitude	Unitless	Real Number	Third component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in ICRF axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the z-axis of the ICRF axes.
RightAscension	LongitudeUnit	Real Number	Right ascension of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the x-axis of the ICRF axes and projection of the selected vector onto the xy-plane of the ICRF axes. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the z-axis of the ICRF axes.
Declination	LatitudeUnit	Real Number	Declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the direction of the selected vector its projection onto the xy-plane of the ICRF axes. The angle is positive when the dot product of the selected vector with the positive z-axis of the ICRF axes is positive.
Co-Declination	AngleUnit	Real Number	Co-Declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the selected vector and z-axis of the ICRF axes.
NegativeDeclination	AngleUnit	Real Number	Negative declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between direction of the selected vector its projection onto the xy-plane of the ICRF axes. The angle is positive when the dot product of the selected vector with the negative z-axis of the ICRF axes is positive.
DirectionAngle x	AngleUnit	Real Number	Angle between the selected vector and the x-axis of the ICRF axes.
DirectionAngle y	AngleUnit	Real Number	Angle between the selected vector and the y-axis of the ICRF axes.
DirectionAngle z	AngleUnit	Real Number	Angle between the selected vector and the z-axis of the ICRF axes.
Derivative x	RateDimensionOfVector	Real Number	First component of the derivative vector, defined as the time rate of change of the selected vector in the ICRF axes. Defines projection of the derivative vector onto the x-axis of the ICRF axes.
