		In Greek mythology, Pegasus, or Pegasos was a winged horse that was the foal of Poseidon, in his role as horse-god and the Gorgon Medusa.
		Pegasus aided the hero Bellerophon, who is a double in some way for Perseus, in his fight against both the Chimera and the Amazons.
		Pegasus was eventually turned into a constellation, but a single feather fell to the earth near the city of Tarsus (hence its name).

	M31 Dwarf Spheroidal Variable Star Surveys
		Various variable star surveys of the Galactic dwarf spheroidals have shown that the RR Lyrae populations, while similar to those found in Galactic globular clusters, have some different mean properties.
		It is the goal of this study to survey the M31 dwarf spheroidal companions in order to analyze the underlying stellar populations of those galaxies and to see how they compare with what we know of the Galactic dwarf spheroidals and globular clusters.
		The M31 dwarf spheroidal companions, And I, II, III, and VI were all observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in order to obtain deep enough photometry to examine the horizontal branch.

		The Wraith follow a cyclical feeding pattern: they lay in a dormant/hibernation stage for many years or generations, then sweep through the Pegasus galaxy to "cull their human herd" then stop when there are just enough surviving humans to maintain a breeding population for the next culling cycle.
		Atlantis in this series is located in the "Pegasus galaxy", which is being referred as a "dwarf galaxy in the Local Group".
		However, as there exist two dwarf galaxies with in the Pegasus constellation, the Pegasus Dwarf (also called Pegasus Dwarf Irregular) and Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal, it is not clear which galaxy is meant.

	Keck Imaging of Two New M31 dSph Companions
		Eva Grebel, a Hubble postdoctoral fellow, and Raja Guhathakurta, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics, confirmed earlier suspicions that the newly discovered galaxies are companions of the Andromeda spiral galaxy.
		Independently, an American group based at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona found two dwarf galaxies in the same region, which they named Andromeda V (And V) and Andromeda VI (And VI) due to their proximity to the Andromeda galaxy.
		This, plus the shapes of the galaxies, led to their classification as dwarf spheroidal galaxies, said Grebel, who is now at the University of Washington in Seattle.

	UC Santa Cruz: New Dwarf Galaxies
		Dwarf galaxies are thought to serve as building blocks from which larger galaxies are assembled.
		The researchers classified the two galaxies as dwarf spheroidal galaxies, the dimmest and least massive type of galaxy known.
		"There are basically two types of dwarf galaxies: The irregular type tends to contain a lot of gas and usually shows ongoing star formation, whereas the spheroidal type tends to be gas-poor, lower in mass and luminosity, and quiescent," Grebel said.

		Morphological distinctions between dwarf and giant galaxies are largely associated with the low central densities of luminous matter in dwarfs, and we investigate the astrophysics of this signature of dwarfs.
		Dwarf galaxies are often easily distinguished from giants on the basis of their optical appearances, a regularity that indicates dwarfs must systematically differ from giants.
		The spheroidal dwarfs, the dSph and dE galaxies, form a single structural family (Kormendy 1987) and are one of the most regular structural classes of galaxies.

	Steinn Sigurdsson - Astro 475(W) 39
		Each of the main spirals has a clump of dwarf galaxies in close association with it, in addition there are a number of free-floating dwarf galaxies out in intergalactic space, mostly clustered.
		A number of recent discoveries of faint dward spheroidal galaxies within the local group suggests that the census of local group galaxies may be incomplete.
		Dwarf ellipticals may not be the low luminosity end of the elliptical sequence, but rather the gas poor compact side of the spheroidal sequence.

		The Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy many voids and acoustic resonance structures are discernable.
		Without precise measurements it is difficult to determine the exact size of the voids, but they appear to be approximately 700,000, 500,000, 300,000 and about 100,000 light years in diameter and are sub-harmonics of the intergalactic voids.
		The similarity to the structure of the Pegasus Galaxy Cluster is significant in indicating that the resonant patterns of the clusters are replicated in the individual constituent members.

		A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed of up to several billion stars, a small number compared to our own Milky Way's 200-400 billion stars.
		There are many dwarf galaxies in the Local Group: these small galaxies frequently orbit around larger galaxies, such as the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy.

		Excitement over discoveries of Peg dSph and other nearby dwarf galaxies reflects the fact that little galaxies may loom large in the process of galaxy evolution.

		Deemed the "Sagittarius Dwarf", this small galaxy went unnoticed until its discovery in 1994 by R.
		The reason the Sagittarius Dwarf hadn't been discovered earlier is because it is so dim, it is so spread out over the sky, and there are so many Milky Way stars in front of it.
		The distance to the Sagittarius Dwarf was recently measured to be about one third of the distance to the LMC.

		Dwarf irregular (dIr) galaxies show evidences of an important old and intermediate-age stellar population.
		Dwarf galaxies usually considered to be in a dIr to dwarf spheroidal (dSph) transition phase and lacking conspicuous H
		This suggests that a bias could exist in the classification of dwarfs as dIr in the sense that only galaxies in a very active star formation phase are likely to be considered as dIrs.

	Our Milky Way Galaxy and its companions
		This dwarf galaxy remained undiscovered -- despite its enormous extent on the sky of 5 x 10 degrees -- because it can only be detected as a slight enhancement of the density of stars on the sky; the actual surface brightness of this galaxy is very low.
		A second discovery was announced during the same press conference of a dwarf irregular galaxy in the constellation Argo.
		This Argo Dwarf, however, contains both a young and an old stellar population, and it is now known to contain quite a lot of neutral hydrogen gas as well.

		At a distance of 2.6 million light-years from the Sun, Cas dSph and Peg dSph are farther from Andromeda than its other known companion galaxies, yet still appear bound to it by gravity.
