Andromeda XIX is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda galaxy, and is a member of the Local Group, like the Milky Way Galaxy.[1] Andromeda XIX is considered "the most extended dwarf galaxy known in the Local Group",[2] and has been shown to have a half-light radius of 1.7 kiloparsec (kpc).[2] It was discovered by the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope, and is thought to be a dwarf galaxy. It is located at RA 00h 19m 31s DEC 35° 02′ 37″.
History
Surveillance performed during use of the MegaPrime/MegaCam 1 deg2 (camera) on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) had mapped M31 stellar halo (one quarter) up to ~150 kpc.[3] The survey, which had confirmed the clumpiness of Andromeda's stellar halo, had shown the existence of multiple other dwarf galaxies.[3] They include: Andromeda XI, XII, XIII, XV, XVI, XVIII, XIX, and XX.[3]
