Talk:List of Andromeda's satellite galaxies

Real positioning

I did the math & I made a best guess on the positions of the satellites from andromeda. M31, M32, A3, Peg, A9, A1, A8, A2, Cas, N147, N185 (I didn't coun't A4 because it might not be in the local group). — Hurricane Devon (Talk) 17:26, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Andromeda IV probably isn't a galaxy at all.--Jyril 18:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I made a huge mistake. I miscouculated where the satellites orbit. It's better if ther're put in order of discovery. — Hurricane Devon (Talk) 01:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I moved the article back to Andromeda Galaxy's satellite galaxies since that title describes the article much better; the term 'natural satellite' is sensible only when it refers to planetary satellites (because there may be also planetary probes orbiting the planets).--Jyril 18:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I finally got Right ascension & Declination, so I made a map of where the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and it's satellites are in RA. and dec. Doing this, I could make a probable map of M31's satellites in distance from M31. The order I got for M31,s satellites are:

• M32
• M110
• And IX
• And VIII
• And X
• And I
• NGC 185
• And V
• And III
• NGC 142
• And II
• Cas
• Peg

With the possibility that And IV might not be a satellite, I din't include it. But if it is, it would be between And IX and And VIII.

New andromeda satellite

Andromeda X is discovered by researchers of the Max Planck University by examining data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Mean distance to M31 approx. 350,000 light-years. Check http://www.newscientistspace.com/article.ns?id=dn8671 DaMatriX 16:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Andromeda IV isn't a satellite

Andromeda IV NOT a satelite of Andromeda but visible through its outer disk.68.164.7.79 00:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Don Craig, Jr.

It might be, it might not be. Do you have any proof of this. — Hurricane Devon ( Talk ) 18:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

It is probably a star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy (see this: [1]). The Andromeda IV article could be updated accordingly.--Jyril 19:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

More new satellite galaxies

Added the new satellites. DONE. Thanks, Marasama (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

M32p

Astronomers may be speculating on whether this galaxy may have influenced the structure of the andromeda aarchipelago.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:46, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Updates on distance to various satellites

Uses hubble date. Needs wait for it to get through peer review mind.

Distance to M31

A column showing distance to M31 would be very useful - more so than the distance to the sun, really. Fig (talk) 10:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
