Proper motion is the astrometric measure of changes in the apparent places of stars or other celestial objects as they move relative to the center of...

those within 10 parsecs. Nearby stars often have a relatively high proper motion, so astrometric binaries will appear to follow a wobbly path across...

out along the relativistic jets emitted from these objects can have a proper motion that appears greater than the speed of light. All of these sources are...

photographic plates taken at different times during a proper motion survey. These showed large proper motion and parallax similar in both size and direction...

orbital period of Jupiter. common proper motion A term used to indicate that two or more stars share the same motion through space, within the margin of...

Kevin Luhman in March 2013, who noticed the object's unusually high proper motion while searching for potential binary companions of the Sun in WISE images...

This is a list of high-proper motion stars. The 34 sources with the highest proper motion, based on data from the highly accurate Gaia catalogues, was...

46 million km (0.31 AU; 29 million mi) from the Sun at perihelion. The proper motion of Sgr A* is approximately −2.70 mas per year for the right ascension...

white dwarfs.: 2  Eventually, many faint white stars that had high proper motion were found, indicating that they could be suspected to be low-luminosity...

the proper motion velocity can be calculated. Together with the radial velocity, the total velocity can be calculated. Stars with high rates of proper motion...

the spectrum shift caused by the Doppler effect. The transverse, or proper motion must be found by taking a series of positional determinations against...

a total of 501 proper names of stars. Of the roughly 10,000 stars visible to the naked eye, only a few hundred have been given proper names in the history...

61 Cygni first attracted the attention of astronomers when its large proper motion was first demonstrated by Giuseppe Piazzi in 1804. In 1838, Friedrich...

2017 revealed that the structure observed by Herschel shows no common proper motion with Zeta Reticuli. In these observations, no significant flux has been...

In physics, motion is when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point in a given time. Motion is mathematically described in terms...

Proper speed may refer to: Proper velocity Proper motion Peculiar velocity This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title Proper speed...

velocity of a star is the component of its motion that is toward or away from the Sun. Unlike proper motion, a star's radial velocity cannot be directly...

giants more massive than Jupiter. It is based on measuring a star's proper motion, and seeing how that position changes over time: a planet with a sufficiently...

Brownian motion is the random motion of particles suspended in a medium (a liquid or a gas). The traditional mathematical formulation of Brownian motion is...

Orion's stars will gradually move away from the constellation due to proper motion. However, Orion's brightest stars all lie at a large distance from the...

the Bonner Durchmusterung and in 1961 the star was identified as a proper motion star by Giclas et al. In 1984 its spectrum was observed for the first...

Zodiac and Ophiuchus. Among the remaining stars, the nearer ones exhibit proper motion, so it is only a matter of time before some of them cross a constellation...

stellar motion was detected by these efforts. However, in 1918 the Dutch–American astronomer Adriaan van Maanen was able to measure the proper motion of stars...
