Procedure for determining M33’s systemic PM in the heliocentric frame, assuming a distance of 840 kpc (Galleti et al. 2004b; Breuval et al. 2023). Each panel is labeled in the topleft corner to indicate the corresponding sample. The results at each step are indicated using the same symbols as in Fig. 5. For comparison, results from Rusterucci et al. (2024) based on Gaia DR3 are shown as gray triangles connected by dashed gray lines. In panel (d), we compare our final results with previous measurements. The blue inverted triangle indicates a purely radial orbit of M33 relative to the MW. The filled magenta and open blue and red points show our new results from 5p, 6p blue, and 6p red samples (G_BP − G_RP ≤ 2.6), respectively. The green cross represents the measurement by VLBA (Brunthaler et al. 2005) and the black triangle shows the result from Gaia DR2 (van der Marel et al. 2019).
