The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology. [8] The virial mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at 1 trillion solar masses (2.0 × 10 42 ...
• Notes = Common name(s) or alternate name(s); comments; notable properties [for example: multiple star status, range of variability if it is a variable star, exoplanets, etc.] Notes ^ It was commonly with δ Peg by Bayer .
The name of this galaxy is based on a Redshift (z) measurement of nearly 7 (actually, z = 6.604). [ 5 ] Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7 is reported to be the brightest of distant galaxies (z > 6) and to contain some of the earliest first stars ( first generation ; Population III ) that produced the chemical elements needed for the later formation of ...
Upsilon Andromedae b is the innermost-known planet in its planetary system. In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars. [3] The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names. [4]
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
Upsilon Andromedae (υ Andromedae, abbreviated Upsilon And, υ And) is a binary star located 44 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda.The system consists of an F-type main-sequence star (designated υ Andromedae A, officially named Titawin in the Amazigh language / t ɪ t ə ˈ w iː n /) and a smaller red dwarf.
The Andromeda Galaxy with M110 at upper left and M32 to the right of the core. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) has satellite galaxies just like the Milky Way.Orbiting M31 are at least 13 dwarf galaxies: the brightest and largest is M110, which can be seen with a basic telescope.
14 Andromedae b (abbreviated 14 And b), formally named Spe / ˈ s p iː /, is an exoplanet approximately 249 light years away in the constellation of Andromeda. The 186-day period planet orbits about 83% the Earth-Sun distance from the giant star 14 Andromedae. It has a minimum mass 4.8 times the mass of Jupiter.
