IC 3100 (= PGC 39381)
Discovered (1904) by Royal Frost
A 14th-magnitude dwarf spiral galaxy (type S0?) in Virgo (RA 12 17 05, Dec +12 17 21)The recessional velocity of only 535 km/sec is too small to provide a reliable distance estimate, as peculiar (non-Hubble expansion) velocities may be a substantial fraction of the whole. Unfortunately, no redshift-independent distance estimates seem to exist, so all we have is the recessional velocity distance estimate of 24 million light years. Assuming that to be reasonably correct, the apparent size of 1.9 by 0.6 arcmins yields a diameter of about 13 thousand light years. |
