IC 4617 is a type Sbc [1] spiral galaxy located in the Hercules constellation. [2] It is located 553 million light-years from the Solar System and has an estimated diameter of 115,000 light-years thus making it slightly larger compared to the Milky Way. [3] The galaxy was discovered by American astronomer, Edward Emerson Barnard or E. E. Barnard although no date of discovery was confirmed. [4] IC 4617 is a member of Abell 2199 [5] [6] and happens to lie near towards the globular cluster, Messier 13. [7]
NGC 7038 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located about 210 million light-years away in the constellation of Indus. Astronomer John Herschel discovered NGC 7038 on September 30, 1834.
MCG +07-33-027 is an isolated spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. It has a very high rate of star formation which would make it a starburst galaxy. Normally, starburst galaxies are triggered by the collision of another galaxy. However most galaxies are in groups or clusters, while MCG +07-33-027 is solitary. Therefore, the cause of the starburst was not due to a collision or by the passing of a nearby galaxy and so the cause of the activity remains unknown.
NGC 6045 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 450 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. NGC 6045 was discovered by astronomer Lewis Swift on June 27, 1886 and is a member of the Hercules Cluster. It is also a LINER galaxy.
NGC 3884 is a spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785 and is a member of the Leo Cluster.
NGC 6158 is an elliptical galaxy located about 400 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 17, 1787 and is a member of Abell 2199.
NGC 710 is a spiral galaxy located 260 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by the Irish engineer and astronomer Bindon Blood Stoney on October 28, 1850 and is a member of the galaxy cluster Abell 262.
IC 4141 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Coma Berenices. The galaxy is located 900 million light-years away from Earth. Founded in 1904 by German astronomer Max Wolf, it measures 255,000 light-years across in diameter. With a radial velocity of 19,000 kilometers per second, it is slowly drifting from the solar system.
IC 3971 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 1 billion light-years away from the solar system, in the constellation of Coma Berenices. It was first discovered in January 1904 by German astronomer Max Wolf. According to SIMBAD database, it is a LINER type galaxy with an active nucleus.
IC 5337 or JW100, is a spiral galaxy located 800 million light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation of Pegasus. It is probably gravitationally bound to IC 5338, the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2626. IC 5337 is a jellyfish galaxy, mainly due to dynamic stripping pressure. Star-forming gas are thrown about, as the galaxy penetrates through the thin gas layer and causing them to drip from the galaxy's disc, giving it its unique appearance of a cosmic jellyfish. In the image, other galaxies can be seen in the background.
IC 3402 is an edge-on, type Sbc spiral galaxy located 370 million light-years away from the solar system in the Coma Berenices constellation. IC 3402 has an estimated diameter of 135,000 light-years and was first discovered by a German astronomer Max Wolf on March 23, 1903. The galaxy does not have an active galactic nucleus.
IC 3441 is a type ES-0 lenticular galaxy with a bar located 880 million light-years away from the solar system in the constellation of Coma Berenices. IC 3441 was discovered on March 23, 1903, by the astronomer Max Wolf and it does not have an active galactic nucleus or an indication of star formation.
IC 3403 is a type Sc spiral galaxy located 700 million light-years away from the solar system in the constellation of Coma Berenices. It is around 80,000 light-years in diameter and was discovered on March 23, 1903, by German astronomer Max Wolf. It is unknown whether IC 3403 has an active galactic nucleus.
IC 3246 known as PGC 40202, is a barred spiral galaxy with a ring located in the Virgo constellation. It is situated 1.13 billion light-years away from the Solar System and was discovered by Friedrich Karl Arnold Schwassmann on September 14, 1900. IC 3246 has a surface brightness of 23.6 magnitude/arc seconds and located at right ascension and declination respectively.
NGC 6331 is a type E elliptical galaxy located in the Ursa Minor constellation. It is located 737 million light-years from the solar system and was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on December 20, 1797, utilizing an 18.7-inch f/13 spectrum telescope but also observed by Guillaume Bigourdan.
IC 4000 known as PGC 2152407, is a type Sbc spiral galaxy with a ring in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It is located 1.5 billion light-years away from the solar system and has an estimated diameter of 100,000 light-years which is the same length as the Milky Way. IC 4000 was discovered by Max Wolf on March 21, 1903. It has a surface brightness of 23.3 magnitude/arc seconds and located right ascension (12:59:36.62) and declination (39:35:15:90).
IC 1166 are a pair of galaxies in the Corona Borealis constellation comprising IC 1166 NED01 and IC 1166 NED02. They are located 977 million light-years from the solar system and were discovered on July 28, 1892, by Stephane Javelle.
