Andromeda XVII (And XVII) is a low luminosity spheroidal dwarf galaxy that is a satellite of the Andromeda galaxy. It is located around 44 kiloparsecs from the Andromeda galaxy.[1]
This galaxy may have three associated globular clusters surrounding it which means that if confirmed, would make Andromeda XVII unusual for its type.[1]
