Populating WLM (and other galaxies) with REAL stars

[Gurren Lagann]

This add-on adds over 550 stars in NGC 55, one of the galaxies between our Local Group, and the Sculptor Group.

Over 100 Cepheid variables did not have spectral types on SIMBAD, so I (with Luke's help and formulae) calculated their spectral types from their V-I indexes.

Also, pretty much every single X-ray source listed on SIMBAD in NGC 55 is an X-ray binary, so I made every X-ray binary as a B-BH binary.

Lastly, because the galaxy is defined as an irregular in Celestia, half of the stellar distribution is outside the galaxy.

Here is an update to the Draco Dwarf add-on. The main change is a new orbital definition for the symbiotic star [ALS82] C1, also known as Draco C1. The parameters come from Lewis et al. (2020): "Geometry of the Draco C1 Symbiotic Binary".

Hello everyone! I'm currently on hiatus from Celestia-related stuff, but in the meantime I have a small add-on. This adds the globular cluster in Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM). Parameters from Stephens et al. (2006): "WLM-1: An old, Nonrotating, Gravitationally Unperturbed, Highly Elliptical Extragalactic Globular Cluster".

can someone do this but for NGC 300? I have a project there and I'd like to know where there are any real stars there.

Hi everyone, unfortunately still on hiatus (real life is busy!), but I made a small change to the Andromeda Galaxy globular clusters file. I added EXT8, which looks like a typical globular cluster but has a extremely low metallicity of [Fe/H] = −2.91 ± 0.04. SIMBAD does not have the name EXT8, so you'll have to search under the name M31GC J005314+413324 for this add-on. Where V-band measurements were lacking, I used the measurements in the F606W filter.

Parameters from Larsen et al. (2021): "Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the extremely metal-poor globular cluster EXT8 in Messier 31".

Hello everyone! I have updated the Andromeda Galaxy and Triangulum Galaxy add-ons. The changes are:

1. I have removed one foreground star 2MASS J01334671+3054550 and made RX J0133.0+3039 a high-mass X-ray binary, according to Lin et al. (2020): "Searching for Balmer-dominated Type Ia Supernova Remnants in M33".

2. I have improved spectral types for many red supergiant stars, based on either the spectral types or effective temperatures, and redefined MAC 1-427 and [MBH96] 217 to be binary stars, based on their composite spectral types. Parameters are from Massey et al. (2021): "The Red Supergiant Content of M31 and M33".

3. I also made LGGS J004438.75+415553.6 a binary, based on the object classification from Neugent (2021): "The Red Supergiant Binary Fraction as a Function of Metallicity in M31 and M33".

4. M33SSS J013410.82+303438.1, a duplicate of the famous VHK 83, has been removed.

This addon adds about 540 stars to Leo P, a small irregular galaxy on the outskirts of the Local Group. Thanks to Gurren Lagann for the main stc file.

I updated it again


Also here is an addon for Leo A:
