As Pegasus dwarf galaxy two different dwarf galaxies are referred to at the edge of the Local Group.

The spheroid Pegasus Dwarf Galaxy (also Peg dSph, for Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy) Andromeda VI or KKH 99 is also called Pegasus II, respectively. She is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (subtype of the elliptical dwarf galaxies ) of the type dSph or DE3, which belongs to the Andromeda galaxy.
