IC 1166 are a pair of galaxies in the Corona Borealis constellation [1] comprising IC 1166 NED01 [2] and IC 1166 NED02. [3] They are located 977 million light-years from the Solar System [4] and were discovered on July 28, 1892, by Stephane Javelle. [5]

Galaxies

IC 1166 NED01

IC 1166 NED01 [6] or PGC 56771 [7] is a type E [7] elliptical galaxy. [8] Located above IC 1166 NED02, it has a diameter of approximately 110,000 light-years. [5] PGC 56771 has an active nucleus and it is classified as a Seyfert type 1 galaxy. [6] It has a quasar-like appearance, but its host clearly seen and presents two sets of emission lines which are superimposed on each other. [9] PGC 56771 is classified a Markarian galaxy (designated Mrk 867), because compared to other galaxies its nucleus emits excessive amounts of ultraviolet rays. [10] It has a surface brightness of 23.2 magnitude and, located at right ascension (16:02:08.92) and declination (26:19:45.60) respectively. [8]

IC 1166 NED02

IC 1166 NED02 [11] or PGC 1771884 [12] is a type SBbc [12] spiral galaxy. [13] Located below IC 1166 NED01, it has an approximate diameter of 160,000 light-years making it slightly larger compared to the other galaxy [5] and does not have an active galactic nucleus. [11] PGC 1771884 has a surface brightness of 23.4 magnitude and, a right ascension of (16:02:08.83) and declination (26:19:31.20). [13]
