Nearest/furthest ELWs

[Stabby_Dave]

Hi.
.
Was just wondering, what's the furthest ELW from Sol that anyone's discovered and what's the one closest to the galactic rim (any direction) that anyone's come across.

Farthest ELW from Sol: Oevasy KA-A d0, first discovered by Allitnil.
As for your second question, I'm not sure what you mean. Farthest from Sagittarius A*, perhaps?

No, I mean an ELW that's as close to the edge of the galaxy as possible. In other words, the closest ELW to intergalactic space.

I would guess HIP 52746 as it is only reachable with a carrier.

That question could be formulated as which ELW system has the longest distance to its nearest neighbouring system. You could crunch through the data... but what @Mooing posted just now sounds like a pretty good candidate.

It's not near the edge of the galaxy. I mean that it has to be on the very edge. Not necessarily furthest from the centre (since the galaxy isn't perfectly round), but on the very edge of intergalactic space.

Your best bet is probably still the farthest from Sol/Sag A* as the farthest points from both of these locations is going to be at the edge of the galaxy. As Marx suggested, Oevasy KA-A d0 is right at the edge with only one or two stars being further out. Also, worlds at the bottom/top of the galaxy can still be on the very edge of intergalactic space, it doesn't have to be at the galactic rim to share a boundary with interstellar space.

Absolutely.

After 5 galactic circumnavigations, I've found around a thousand or so, just inside the "Allitnil Halo". It's my favorite place to hunt even though the hit rate is around half that in the Galactic core area, and undiscovered systems out on the edge are starting to get scarce. My personal best furthest from Sol is 64,998 Ly (CEECKAEA HR-L D8-0)
