IC 3447 (or PGC 165209) is a type Sc [1] barred spiral galaxy [ citation needed ] located in the constellation Virgo. It has a redshift of 0.092479, [2] which means IC 3447 is 1.27 billion light-years from Earth, [3] making it one of the furthest objects in the Index Catalogue. [4] The galaxy has apparent dimensions of 0.30 x 0.3 arcmin, which means IC 3447 is 111,000 light-years across. [5] It was discovered by Royal Harwood Frost on May 10, 1904. [6] [7]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">IC 10</span> Irregular starburst galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia

IC 10 is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by Lewis Swift in 1887 and in 1935 Nicholas Mayall became the first to suggest that the object is extragalactic. Edwin Hubble suspected it might belong to the Local Group of galaxies, but its status remained uncertain for decades. The radial velocity of IC 10 was measured in 1962, and it was found to be approaching the Milky Way at approximately 350 km/s, strengthening the evidence for its membership in the Local Group. Its membership in the group was finally confirmed in 1996 by direct measurements of its distance based on observations of Cepheids; most estimates place the galaxy 2–3 million light years from Earth, with some estimates ranging from 1.5–4.5 million light years. Despite its closeness, the galaxy is rather difficult to study because it lies near the plane of the Milky Way and is therefore heavily obscured by interstellar matter.

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.
