Radial velocity (cz) with respect to the CMB: v3k

Finally, the radial velocity is also expressed in the reference frame of the Cosmic Background Radiation. This velocity is noted v3k. It is calculated from the heliocentric velocity v using the total solar motion of 360 km/s towards the direction defined by the B1950 equatorial coordinates B 11.25 H - 5.6 deg (Lubin & Villela 1986). Where theta is:

Other velocities in the database are: vrad, vopt, v, vgsr, vlg, vvir.
