The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void, and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years. [1]
This is a list of the largest cosmic structures so far discovered. The unit of measurement used is the light-year (distance traveled by light in one Julian year; approximately 9.46 trillion kilometres).
NGC 1259 is a lenticular galaxy [2] located about 243 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 21, 1884 [5] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [6] [5] A type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008L was discovered in NGC 1259 on January 14, 2008. [7] [8 ...
NGC 1279 is a lenticular galaxy estimated to be 324 million light-years away from the Milky Way [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] It has diameter of about 110,000 ly, [3] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [5] [6] It was discovered on December 12, 1876, by astronomer John Louis Emil Dreyer. [6]
NGC 1275 (also known as Perseus A or Caldwell 24) is a type 1.5 Seyfert galaxy [3] located around 237 million light-years away [2] in the direction of the constellation Perseus. NGC 1275 is a member of the large Perseus Cluster of galaxies.
NGC 1272 is a massive [2] elliptical galaxy [3] located about 230 million light-years away [4] in the constellation Perseus. [5] It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, 1863. [6] NGC 1272 has an active nucleus and is the second brightest [2] member of the Perseus Cluster [7] [6] after NGC 1275. [2]
The Perseus–Pegasus Filament is a galaxy filament containing the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster and stretching for roughly a billion light-years (or over 300/h Mpc). Currently, it is considered to be one of the largest known structures in the universe. [note 1] This filament is adjacent to the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex. [1] [2]
NGC 1260 is a spiral or lenticular galaxy [3] located 250 million light years away from earth in the constellation Perseus. [4] It was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on 19 October 1884. [5] NGC 1260 is a member of the Perseus Cluster [6] [3] and forms a tight pair with the galaxy PGC 12230. [3]
