[edit] Star Formation
I've read in several (non-wikipedia) articles that the star formation rate is much higher in M33 then in M31 or the MilkyWay, but I can't find an official source. Could someone assist me in this? DaMatriX 21:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
The star formation in M33 and M31 are about equal, but roughly ten times less than in the Milky Way. See these publications for the Milky Way, M31, and M33 bambulko
[edit] Distance Measurement
The distance measurements to the Triangulum Galaxy deserve a subsection with a thorough discussion (and possibly a table). The infobox should not be constrained to one distance measurement. I may try this myself. (Also, the reference used for the distance at this time, which is Bonanos et al. (2006), admits that its distance measurement is high. They explain this discrepancy as a problem with everyone else's measurement, but this would need to be verified.) GeorgeJBendo 21:23, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Right now, main article lists 3.14 Mly, and subsection sais 2.92 ± 0.13 Mly (3.14, obviously, does NOT fall into this range. Someone should fix this? 82.207.25.235
- I will try to do it in the next week. An lengthy section will need to be written on the topic. Dr. Submillimeter 20:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
