NGC 272 is an open cluster (rather an L-shaped asterism) located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on August 2, 1864, by Heinrich d'Arrest. [2]
NGC 7686 is a moderately-sized open cluster in the constellation Andromeda, containing about 80 stars. [2] At magnitude 5.6, it is an easy target for binoculars and small telescopes. [3] According to Johnson et al. (1961), the "color-magnitude diagram shows merely a uniform scatter with no significant tendency to show a cluster main sequence ...
2 Andromedae, abbreviated 2 And, is a binary star [4] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 2 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation . It is a faint star system but visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.09. [ 3 ]
V455 Andromedae (often abbreviated to V455 And) is a dwarf nova in the constellation Andromeda. It has a typical apparent visual magnitude of 16.5, but reached a magnitude of 8.5 during the only observed outburst.
NGC 206 is the richest and most conspicuous star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy, and is one of the largest and brightest star-forming regions in the Local Group. [2] It contains more than 300 stars brighter than M b =−3.6. [3] It was originally identified by Edwin Hubble as a star cluster but today, due to its size, it is classified as an OB ...
NGC 708 is an elliptical galaxy located 240 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda and was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on September 21, 1786. [3] It is classified as a cD galaxy [ 4 ] [ 5 ] and is the brightest member of Abell 262 .
The star is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.68. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 29.12 [1] mas as seen from Earth, it is located 112 light years away. 5 Andromedae is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −2.6 km/s. [2]
NGC 668 is a spiral galaxy located 200 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on December 4, 1880 [3] and is a member of Abell 262. [4] [5] [6] [7]
