Absolute Proper Motion

Absolute Proper Motion is a celestial kinematic measurement that quantifies the apparent angular shift of a star or astronomical object on the sky relative to a fixed inertial reference frame, distinguished from relative proper motion by its correction for solar system barycentric motion and its anchoring to extragalactic or distant reference sources to establish an absolute standard of rest.
