This release contains images and catalogs of star-forming regions, globular clusters, nearby galaxies, fields of the Fornax cluster and Perseus cluster, as well as more distant galaxy clusters. [35] The content of the ERO is described in one paper submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics .
IC 342 (also known as Caldwell 5) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis, located relatively close to the Milky Way.Despite its size and actual brightness, its location behind dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe, leading to the nickname "The Hidden Galaxy", [4] [1] though it can readily be detected even with binoculars. [5]
MACS J0025.4-1222 is a galaxy cluster created by the collision of two galaxy clusters, and is part of the MAssive Cluster Survey (MACS). Like the earlier discovered Bullet Cluster, this cluster shows a clear separation between the centroid of the intergalactic gas (of majority of the normal, or baryonic, mass) and the colliding clusters.
The images spanned four areas of the relatively nearby universe, including 1,000 galaxies belonging to the massive Perseus cluster just 240 million light years away, and more than 100,000 galaxies ...
UGC 2885 is a spiral galaxy with a relatively low surface brightness. The central bulge is the most prominent feature of this galaxy, where a faint bar crosses its center. UGC 2885 is classified as a field galaxy—a class of galaxies found in remote, under-dense and "vacant" sections of space, far from other major galaxies.
The group lies in a relatively crowded part of the sky near the Virgo Cluster, so exact determination of the group membership is extremely difficult. Some studies have estimated that the NGC 4631 Group contains as few as five galaxies, [ 4 ] while others place the estimate as high as 27. [ 2 ]
The term Eridanus Group has also been applied to a sub-group of the Eridanus Cloud. [7] This grouping of galaxies is found at a distance of 14.2 Mpc. [8] The Eridanus Group is known to have 31 members with nine listed in the New General Catalogue and two listed in the Index Catalogue.
Spiral galaxy NGC 7331 is a foreground galaxy in the same field as the collection, which is also called the Deer Lick Group. [1] It contains four other members, affectionately referred to as the "fleas": the lenticular or unbarred spirals NGC 7335 and NGC 7336, the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7337 and the elliptical galaxy NGC 7340.
