Pisces Dwarf is an irregular dwarf galaxy that is part of the Local Group. The galaxy, taking its name from the constellation Pisces where it appears, is suspected of being a satellite galaxy of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). It displays a blueshift, as it is approaching the Milky Way at 287 km/s. It may be transition-type galaxy, somewhere between dwarf spheroidal and dwarf irregular. Alternatively, it may be a rare, but statistically acceptable, version of one of the two types.[2]

History
It was discovered by Valentina Karachentseva in 1976.[2][3][4]
Star formation history
Apparently, the star formation rate in the Pisces Dwarf has been declining for the past 10 billion years. Most of the galaxy's stars were formed in its early years, about 8 billion years ago. The study has also shown that there has been no significant star formation for the past 100 million years. Hence, most of the stars that populate this galaxy are old, metal-rich stars aged about 2.5 billion years. However, there are small clusters of young, hot, blue stars on the outer areas of the galaxy.[5]

[de] Pisces-Zwerggalaxie
Die Pisces-Zwerggalaxie, auch bekannt als LGS 3, ist eine irregulär geformte Zwerggalaxie im Sternbild Fische und vermutlich eine Begleitgalaxie von M33, der Dreiecksgalaxie. Ihre Entfernung beträgt ca. 2,5 Millionen Lichtjahre. Die Galaxie besitzt selbst nur einen Radius von 850 Lichtjahren und erscheint damit am Himmel als 2 Bogenminuten großes Objekt.- [en] Pisces Dwarf

La Galaxia Enana de Piscis (también denominada LGS 3) es una galaxia enana irregular ubicada en la constelación homónima, forma parte del Grupo Local y se sospecha que es una galaxia satélite de la Galaxia del Triángulo (M33). Debido a que se aproxima a la Vía Láctea a 287 km/s presenta corrimiento al azul.[ru] Рыбы (карликовая галактика)
Ры́бы (Pisces; LGS 3) — карликовая неправильная галактика, которая является частью Местной группы. Возможно, является спутником М33. Название происходит от названия созвездия, к которому она принадлежит. Проявляет фиолетовое смещение спектральных линий, так как приближается к Млечному Пути со скоростью 287 км/с.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
