 Our Galaxy - Our Satellite Galaxies
The last eight dwarfs (small galaxies) are in the direction of the named constellation, but the stars of the constellations are in our own galaxy.
These dwarf galaxies are beyond the view of the unaided eye, and though a telescope might be confused as a globular clusters.
This galaxy is classified as an irregular galaxy that may have tiny arms.

 Pegasus
Pegasus, the Winged Horse, is an easily recognizable constellation that is perfectly positioned for Northern Hemisphere skywatchers in November.
The story of Pegasus goes something like this: Perseus was a mortal man, one of the many "illegitimate" sons of Zeus and a mortal woman.
For those galaxy hunters interested in a challenge, try finding Stephan's Qunitet, a group of 13 and 14 magnitude galaxies located just half a degree west of NGC 7331.

 Stargates - SCIFIPEDIA
A second gate system exists in the Pegasus Galaxy and it is possible that other gate networks exist in other galaxies.
In order to overcome the vast distance between this galaxy and their own, the Ori attempted to create a massive Stargate in the Milky Way large enough to send their ships through in the episode "Beachhead." They sent the necessary pieces for the supergate through a regular stargate.
SG-1 visited the Pegasus Galaxy aboard the Odyssey and made a connection to a gate in the Milky Way close to the Ori supergate using the power supplied by a fl hole in Pegasus.

Starburst galaxies are characterized by dusty concentrations of gas and the appearance of newly-formed stars, including massive stars that ionize the surrounding clouds to create H II regions.
Galaxies that emit high-energy radiation in the form of x-rays are classified as Seyfert galaxies or quasars, depending on the luminosity.
Clusters of galaxies are often dominated by a single giant elliptical galaxy, which over time tidally destroys its satellite galaxies and adds their mass to its own.

 Pegasus Galaxy (Stargate) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pegasus Galaxy is a dwarf galaxy in the fictional Stargate universe.
In reality, there are two galaxies in the Local Group called Pegasus Dwarf, the Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy and the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy.
However, with the galaxy's inadequate amount of humans to sustain their entire population, Wraith factions began to form to gain access to the sparse feeding grounds.

 UCSC astronomers describe dwarf galaxies; 01-11-99
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.
The Pegasus dwarf galaxy (center) is a companion of the Andromeda spiral galaxy, approximately 2.5 million light-years from the sun.
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.

 Galactic Dynamics
Each of the components of the galaxy has structure and a functional form and hence, according to Equation 2, the circular speed is proportional to mass and inversely to radius.
This ratio is measured in solar units for an area of the galaxy, where the mass is the surface density integrated over the area and the light is the total luminosity (energy emitted per second) in solar luminosities emanating from that region.
She argues that due to the influence of the bulge and the necessary mass contribution from any halo, disk maximality cannot be defined from the central galactic regions, but rather from the radius at which a disk alone would produce the peak in the rotation curve.

 Ori vs the Wraith - Sony Pictures
Are the Ori a sub-group that seperated from the ascended ancients, in which case they would have been part of those that left the Pegasus Galaxy and would be aware of the existance of humans there.
If this is so then the absence of Priors in the pegasus galaxy would suggest that the Ori may be wary of the Wraith, which would raise the question if wraith tech would work on a Prior "such as a wraith stunner".
With the entireity of the pegasus galaxy trembling from the wraith, there is scant few people/planets taht stand up to them...

Approximately 10,000 years ago, the great city of Atlantis, in the Pegasus Galaxy, was abandoned as the war with the Wraith began to reach its horrific conclusion.
However, because the distance to the Milky Way was only a fraction of that to the more distant Pegasus, the extra power requirements were not nearly as severe as one would expect.
