Stellar radial velocity is the component of a star's velocity along the line of sight, measured via the Doppler shift of its spectral lines. A blueshift indicates approach; a redshift indicates recession. Radial velocity, combined with proper motion and parallax, completes the 3D kinematic picture of a star.
