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.
NGC 2606 is a spiral galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. It lies 648 million light-years away from our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The galaxy was first discovered by John Herschel, a British astronomer on 16th February 1831. According to SIMBAD database, it is classified as a LINER galaxy and a Seyfert type 2 galaxy by Hyperleda.
IC 21 known as PGC 1785, is a distant barred spiral galaxy located in the Cetus constellation. It is located 822 million light-years away and has an estimated diameter of 120,000 thousand light-years. IC 21 was first found by Stephane Javelle, who was a French astronomer on November 7th in 1891. The galaxy is apparently located near towards a dwarf galaxy, PGC 3112047. According to SIMBAD database, IC 21 is both a Seyfert type 2 and radio galaxy, suggesting an active galactic nucleus.
LEDA 1245565 is a spiral galaxy located 1.04 billion light-years way in the constellation of Virgo. It has a similar structure as the Milky Way though has a low black hole mass. It is classified as a Seyfert type 1 galaxy by SIMBAD database.
NGC 4991 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. It is located 835 million light-years from the solar system. NGC 4991 was first discovered on April 30, 1864 by German astronomer, Albert Marth. It is considered as a radio galaxy by the SIMBAD database. It has an active galactic nucleus and contains high amounts of ionized hydrogen.
NGC 5278 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1789. NGC 5278 is in gravitational interaction with the galaxy NGC 5279. This pair of galaxies appears in the Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies under the symbol Arp 239. The luminosity class of NGC 5278 is II. The nucleus of this galaxy presents a burst of star formation and it is an active Seyfert 2 type galaxy.
