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]
HD 221776 is a double star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.18, [ 2 ] it is viewable by the naked eye user very favourable conditions. The most luminous component has a spectral classification K5III, meaning that it is an orange giant star that has evolved off the main sequence .
HD 221246 or NGC 7686 1 is a star in open cluster NGC 7686, and it belongs to the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.17, [ 2 ] it can be viewed by the naked eye only under very favourable conditions.
NGC 912 is a compact lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda about 197 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan in 1878. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ]
NGC 317 is a pair of interacting galaxies, consisting of a lenticular galaxy NGC 317A (also designated as PGC 3442) and a spiral galaxy NGC 317B (also designated as PGC 3445), in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 1, 1885 by Lewis Swift. [2]
HD 895 is a multiple star system in the constellation Andromeda.Its apparent magnitude is 6.277, [2] so it can be seen by the naked eye under very favourable conditions. Based on parallax measured by Hipparcos, the system is located around 54 parsecs (180 ly) away, [4] and it is made of two different spectroscopic binary pairs.
NGC 700 is a lenticular galaxy located 200 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda. NGC 700 was discovered by astronomer Bindon Stoney on October 28, 1850. [3] It is also a member of Abell 262. [4] [5] The galaxy PGC 6924 is often misidentified as NGC 700. [3]
HD 16028 is a star in the constellation Andromeda. Its apparent magnitude is 5.71. [2] Located approximately 225 parsecs (730 ly) distant, [1] it is an orange giant of spectral type K3III, [3] a star that has used up its core hydrogen and has expanded. Double star catalogues list two stars as optical companions.
