Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Surface brightness fluctuation

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Surface brightness fluctuation

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. Surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) is a secondary distance indicator used to estimate distances to galaxies.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Surface brightness fluctuation

Andromeda Galaxy and Surface brightness fluctuation have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cepheid variable, Cosmic dust, Elliptical galaxy, Globular cluster, Parsec.

Cepheid variable

A Cepheid variable is a type of star that pulsates radially, varying in both diameter and temperature and producing changes in brightness with a well-defined stable period and amplitude.
