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]

IC 4271 is a spiral galaxy located some 800 million light-years away in the Canes Venatici constellation. It is 130,000 light-years in diameter. IC 4271 was first located on July 10, 1896, by Stephane Javelle, a French astronomer. It hosts a Seyfert type 2 nucleus, containing an acceleration disc around its supermassive black hole which releases large amounts of radiation, hence its bright appearance. IC 4271 appears to be interacting with its smaller neighboring galaxy, PGC 3096774.
