            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.location_right_ascension`
              - The star's right ascension: the angle in the equatorial plane measured in a right-handed sense about the inertial Z-axis from the inertial X-axis. Uses Angle Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.location_declination`
              - The star's declination: the angle from the inertial equator measured toward the inertial positive Z-axis. Uses Angle Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.proper_motion_right_ascension`
              - Motion of star relative to solar system barycenter expressed in arc seconds per year. Here, right ascension refers to motion in equatorial plane measured in a right-handed sense about the inertial Z-axis from inertial X-axis. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.proper_motion_declination`
              - Motion of the star relative to the solar system barycenter expressed in arc seconds per year. Here, declination refers to motion from the inertial equator measured towards the inertial positive Z-axis. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.parallax`
              - Annual parallax: motion of a star due to changes in the Earth's position relative to the solar system barycenter. Uses Angle Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.epoch`
              - Epoch of the star position information as a Julian epoch (yyyy.yy). The Julian epoch is related to the Julian date by the expression JD = 2451545.0 + (yyyy.yy - 2000.0) x 365.25, where 2451545.0 (TT) represents the standard J2000 epoch.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.magnitude`
              - Magnitude, the visual brightness of the star. Dimensionless.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.graphics`
              - Get the star's 2D Graphics properties.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.access_constraints`
              - Get the constraints imposed on the star.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.graphics_3d`
              - Get the star's 3D Graphics properties.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.reference_frame`
              - Return a reference frame.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Star.proper_motion_radial_velocity`
              - Property motion radial velocity. Uses Distance dimension.
