Hello GMP! Here's what i found!

Name: Arkady's Edge
GalMap ref: Blo Chrea OM-W e1-9 (A 1A)
Description: Arkady's Edge is an anomaly, a little reminder that our Universe doesn't comply with what sounds to us like logic, or laws.
This intricate rocky moon orbit its Class IV planet in about 1,3 days, but the thing is, it does so with an inclinastion of 55,65°, granting an amazing view of the rings, the planet, and the B-star close by.
Each 15,5h you're granted with an amazing close pass in the rings plane, wich is amongst the prettiest charm of Arkady's Edge. You can also enjoy its 13 geological sites of metallic magma volcanism, i personally recommend Geo n°4, and 11.

I'm not saying such planets aren't rare, as they are very much so, there are only a couple of dozens, but that one wasn't the first to be reported, they've been known to exist for years. Now that I check, first screenshot I've seen was from 2016 March: Granou JH-V f2-1448 A 2, first discovered by CMDR Kaneda Burntsun.
Hm, should probably report that one as well. I've sent the Commander a message, but the latest post from them was from two years ago. And now that I check, the system isn't even on EDSM yet.

I believe (my spreadsheet is on the other computer) that is the 4th one. With Cmdr Ordovious' help some data-mining was done. There are exactly 4 known (at least to the EDSM database). Note: In primary orbit of a black hole. If it's a black hole, and there's an ELW in system but orbiting another body, that isn't being counted. Also BH/other binary pairs aren't being counted (simply because I can't distinguish those in the data at this time).

Perhaps you didn't count those that are moons? If so, I didn't stop to think what you might have meant with "in primary orbit". Removing ELMs, the list would be as follows:

EOK FLYUAE AQ-P E5-2798 AB 3
GRANAO VO-A F1799 A 2 (not on EDSM)
GRANOU JH-V F2-1448 A 2 (not on EDSM)
EOCH FLYA AQ-Y F171 ABCD 2 (not on EDSM)
LEAMUE FL-Y E1995 AB 2
EOCH PRUAE YP-P E5-1578 ABC 1
EOCH PRUAE YP-P E5-1578 ABC 2
MYUMBAO YU-Y F610 AB 8
SCHEAU FLYI CA-A E1336 AB 2
ROTHIE JH-V F2-1094 A 2 (not on EDSM)

Still some missing ones there, but the first was to be discovered, or at least reported, GRANOU JH-V F2-1448 A 2 then.

Yeah the AB+ ones are in binary orbit so the system wouldn't have picked it up. Also, I'm not sure about ELMs, there's a whole different spreadsheet for that.

Regardless, having two so near to Colonia is excellent, and worthy of inclusion!

Yeah, my point was that Eos Ausms AA-A f252 wasn't the first such to be discovered, others have predated it by years. Yeah, I'd say that pretty much all of the above are worthy of inclusion. Especially the ones that aren't moons.
Say, mind adding the ones not on EDSM to your request? I could post the system map screenshots, but that's not that much, and certainly isn't visiting.

I took some.... artistic license. For the sake of getting some people interested. :) (and actually, I think that system was the first for EDSM? I'd have to check.)

Can you post the non-EDSM ones? We can do those as a separate request.

Sure, I posted them on the list, but I edited that part in later, so you probably missed it. For the non-moons, it's GRANAO VO-A F1799 A 2, GRANOU JH-V F2-1448 A 2, EOCH FLYA AQ-Y F171 ABCD 2 and ROTHIE JH-V F2-1094 A 2. Didn't look up all the moons on EDSM, but can do if you'd like.

As an FYI, I added a bunch of columns to the ELW spreadsheet on EDastro.com, to indicate the type for the primary/entry star, and to give the name+type of the immediate parent body. In the latter case, you'll see a star if the ELW directly orbits it, or the type of planet if it's an ELM. How far down the rabbit hole would it be useful to go? I could probably add columns for traversing the intermediate steps for ELMs that orbit planets around secondary stars, and get that star's information too. If that might also be helpful.

From a standpoint of rarity, it would be interesting to know the deepest nested type of ELW. Is there an ELW moon of an ELW, which itself is a moon of an ELW?
The same for WW, AW, and combinations thereof.

A triple moon-combo of three different bodies types (AW+ELW+WW) would be amazing.

Ambitious, aren't you? :D An ELW moon of an ELW has yet to be reported, to say nothing about it then having another moon. Except a pair of terraformed ones in the bubble, but that could well be hand-crafted. Also, not all terraformed Earth-likes could form naturally. (Too high atmospheric pressure, too high or low gravity, and so on.)

Still, checking for all kinds of weird combinations might be interesting. I doubt that there would be any actual positives, but if there were, those could be very interesting.

Dream big!

Are you referring to BD-00 632?

EDastro's ELM spreadsheet tells me there are ~100 ELM of WWs, but no ELM of AW.

Yep, that's the one.

The problem with including Earth-likes in such nested structures is that, unlike WWs and AWs, they have a small range of possible masses, so there are arrangements which would simply be impossible. (For example, WW->ELW->AW) Then there are all the possible problems that might "turn them" into WWTCs instead. (As has already happened. Note that atmospheric moon temperatures are bugged though, so once we see atmospheric flight and that bug is fixed, a handful of candidates might turn into an ELW+ELM combo.)

Note that an AW+ELM combo is pretty much impossible, as the ammonia parent is outside the habitable zone, so its moon is outside it as well. There's also the problem of the moon likely getting some ammonia in its atmosphere, which instantly turns it from an ELW into a WWTC.

Click to expand...

There is not much information on the system, it just goes as LMXB source in the papers with the other similar objects. Still, I did my best to write some appropriate description.

SLX 1746-331

A low mass X-ray source with regular outbursts every 5-10 years located in the galaxy center 2000 light years from Sagittarius A*. The main body of the system is a black hole of 170 solar masses which makes it one of the most massive objects of this type in the galaxy. It is orbited by three ordinary white stars and also a neutron star which itself is orbited by 3 brown dwarfs and an Y-type dwarf.
