IC 3250
Recorded (1903) by Max Wolf
A 17th-magnitude star in Coma Berenices (RA 12 23 18, Dec +25 37 43)
The image below is an approximately 15 arcmin wide view centered between IC 3250 and 3251. The star directly below the label for IC 3250 is presumably Wolf's object. The one just left and below the label for IC 3251 may be what he thought he observed. |
IC 3251
Recorded (1903) by Max Wolf
No object exists at the recorded position (in Coma Berenices) (RA 12 23 18, Dec +25 39 13)
(Although there is a 17th-magnitude star only a second of arc to the southeast; see IC 3250 for an image)
IC 3252
Recorded (1903) by Max Wolf
A group of faint stars in Coma Berenices) (RA 12 23 26, Dec +28 37 06)
The image below is an approximately 15 arcmin wide region centered on IC 3252
The group of faint stars just below the label is the "object" Wolf observed
IC 3253 (= PGC 40265)
Recorded (1901) by DeLisle Stewart
A 12th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA(s)c) in Centaurus (RA 12 23 45, Dec -34 37 20)
Based on recessional velocity of 2705 km/sec, about 120 million light years away, near the lower end of the unusually wide range of redshift-independent distance estimates (from 90 to 250 million light years). Given that and apparent size of 2.8 by 1.1 arcmin, about 100 thousand light years in diameter. |
