Unclear text
[edit]Can someone explain the significance of this sentence? "As of Gaia's 3rd data release the star has been measured to have a negative measured parallax suggesting at distance of >103,000 light-years (32,000 pc) at the 3-sigma level, and a proper motion consistent with Small Magellanic Cloud stars in its region of the galaxy." Does this say it IS in the SMC, or something else? If it's in the SMC, does that mean it's more likely to be a TZO? — DKMell 22:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- It's definitely in the SMC, as stated in source three, "Cool, Luminous, and Highly Variable Stars in the Magellanic Clouds from ASAS-SN"; the text mentions that it is probably in the closer part of the satellite galaxy's galactic halo. — Arlo James Barnes 15:04, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
unknown distance
[edit]How come we don't know how far it is from earth yet? — AgeCS916270 (talk) 23:11, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @AgeCS916270:We do. It appears to be within the Small Magellanic Cloud. The parallax from GAIA is unusable - meaning it's far away. This leads to effective certainty that it is at the SMC's distance. Tarl N. (discuss) 23:50, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
