The Phoenix dwarf has an inner part of young stars running in an east-west direction and an outer part of mainly old stars that runs north-south. The central region's rate of
star formation seems to have been relatively constant across time (Martínez-Delgado et al. 1999). In 1999, St-Germain et al. discovered a H I region of about 105 M☉ just to the west of Phoenix. Itsradial velocity is -23 km/sec and may be physically associated with Phoenix if it is found to have a similar radial velocity. citation
