Peacock is catalogued in this registry as a star, held in the frame of Milky Way, from Hipparcos — the brightest stars (Vmag ≤ 4).
Registry id HIP_100751 ·
source layer hipparcos-bright ·
provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Open Peacock in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

| Temperature | 11880 K | no published uncertainty in this registry | Hipparcos — the brightest stars (Vmag ≤ 4) |
Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.

| Coverage | 148 stars, Vmag ≤ 4 — the Gaia-saturated brightest sky (Sirius, Canopus, Vega…; Gaia DR3 has no usable parallax at G ≲ 3, so the gaia-bright layer honestly lacks them). Parallax > 3σ gate, per-star σ_d carried; teff DERIVED from B−V where present (Ballesteros 2012, named per record — never a catalogued value); positionally deduplicated (0.3 pc) against curated stars, both Gaia layers and exoplanet hosts (352 dropped). Positions are REAL positions at the simulated instant, not the sky as seen from Earth: each catalogue position is displaced along the star's own measured velocity by (J2000 − catalogue epoch) PLUS the light-travel time d/c, since a catalogue records where a star APPEARED. A star with no measured motion is not displaced at all. |
