The Virgo III Groups, [4] Virgo III Cloud, [5] [1] [6] [3] or the Virgo-Libra Cloud [7] [8] [2] is a galaxy filament [3] consisting of at least 13 galaxy groups. [7] [8] It is located approximately 87 Mly (27 Mpc) from the Solar System. [3]

Contents

The Virgo III Cloud, like the Leo Cloud, [1] is prolate and points toward the Virgo Cluster. [1] [6]

List of groups

Below is a list of groups in the Virgo III Cloud according to astronomer Brent Tully. [7] [8]

Column 1: The name of the group in Tully's NBGG [7] [8]
Column 2: The right ascension for epoch 2000.
Column 3: The declination for epoch 2000.
Column 4: Number of members of the group.
Column 5: Brightest member of the group
Column 6: Redshift of the group.
Column 7: Distance of the group (Millions of light-years).
Column 8: Cross-Identifications with other catalogs.
