This is a list of 100 10 mv stars in 0° declination taken from the UCAC5 catalog. The explanations of the UCAC5 data are given in the documentation that accompanies the catalog:

The columns in the Gaia vs mean UCAC coordinates table are as follows:
Gaia source ID: The Gaia identifier for the star. Item 1.
Gaia RA, dec: epoch 2015.0: Items 2 and 3.
Mean UCAC RA, dec at epoch: Items 9 and 10.
epoch: Item 8.
UCAC precessed to 2015: Items 9 and 10, precessed to 2015.0
Umag: Item 16.
Given the above documentation, one would expect that the "mean UCAC position at epoch" precessed to 2015 would be the same or very close to the Gaia position. It's not.
