A Revised Three-dimensional Visualization of the Local Group of Galaxies.

CICCOLELLA A.

Abstract (from CDS):

A new three-dimensional reconstruction of the Local Group (142 confirmed members) and nearest galaxies (6 members) is presented, addressing the lack of up-to-date visual representations that reflect the rapid pace of discoveries in the field. While numerous studies have refined distance measurements and catalogued newly discovered dwarf galaxies, most existing educational-graphic visualizations remain not updated or fragmented. This project offers a comprehensive view based on published data and the constantly updated Local Volume Galaxies database, using a Cartesian visualization to depict accurate spatial relationships among the galaxies of the Local Group. The resulting map not only updates previous visualizations by incorporating new members and refined distances, but also highlights the growing challenge of maintaining a consistent nomenclature and reference system for the Local Group. It is both visually attractive, and serves as a scientific and educational tool aimed at reflecting the evolving structure of our galactic neighbourhood.
