User:CYl7EPTEMA777/List of Triangulum's suspected satellite galaxies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At the moment Triangulum Galaxy (M33) not have proven satellite galaxies, but likely it has their satellite galaxies. Triangulum Galaxy and its satellites constitute Triangulum subgroup

Triangulum Galaxy

Andromeda XXII (suspected Triangulum I,Pisces VI)[edit]

Andromeda XXII is located much closer in projection to M33 than M31 [42 kiloparsecs (140 kly) vs. 224 kiloparsecs (730 kly)]. This fact suggests that it might be the first Triangulum (M33) satellite ever discovered. However, it is currently catalogued as a satellite of Andromeda (M31).[1]

Pisces Dwarf[edit]

Pisces Dwarf is an irregular dwarf galaxy that is part of the Local Group. The galaxy is also suspected of being a satellite galaxy of the Triangulum Galaxy.[2]

Andromeda II[edit]

Andromeda II (And II) is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy about 2.22 Mly away in the constellation Andromeda. It is part of the Local group of galaxies and is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) but it's also situated closely to the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), it is not quite clear if it is a satellite of the one or the other galaxy.
