IC 3353 (= PGC 40741)
Discovered (1903) by Max Wolf
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S0?) in Virgo (RA 12 26 45, Dec +27 54 44)
Based on recessional velocity of 4410 km/sec, about 200 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.8 by 0.15 arcmin, about 45 thousand light years in diameter. |

IC 3381 (= PGC 40985)
Recorded (1900) by Arnold Schwassmann
A 13th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type dE3 N) in Virgo (RA 12 28 15, Dec +11 47 22)
The galaxy's recessional velocity of 675 km/sec is too small in comparison to peculiar (non-Hubble expansion) velocities to provide a reliable distance estimate, and the corresponding value of 30 million light years is considerably less than redshift-independent distance estimates of 40 to 60 million light years, which suggest that it is a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. If about 50 million light years away, its apparent size of 1.35 by 0.9 arcmin would correspond to about 20 thousand light years across. As a result, it is classified as a dwarf elliptical, with a brighter than usual nucleus. |
