ZTFJ0722 Galactic localization might be wrong

The sky localization seems off for the following source : ZTF-J0722-1839.

Using astropy, I get the following results for the source :

  • (Ra,dec) = (110.58954166666666,18.658491666666666) is consistent with the catalog
  • Galactic (lat,lon) = (199.36108518956857,15.028449847951412) which is inconsistent with (232.9930,-1.8604).

Minimum working code :

from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
import numpy as np
sky_gal = SkyCoord(ra=110.58954166666666,dec=18.658491666666666, unit='deg', frame='icrs').galactic
lG,bG = sky_gal.l.rad/np.pi*180,sky_gal.b.rad/np.pi*180 
print(lG,bG)
