NGC 7200 (= PGC 68068)
Discovered (Sep 30, 1834) by John Herschel
A 13th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E3) in Indus (RA 22 07 09.6, Dec -49 59 44)
NGC 7201 (= PGC 68040)
Discovered (Sep 27, 1834) by John Herschel
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SAa) in Piscis Austrinus (RA 22 06 32.0, Dec -31 15 50)
Based on a recessional velocity of 4415 km/sec, NGC 7201 is about 205 million light years away. This is not much further than apparently nearby NGC 7203, and if really at nearly the same distance, the two may be gravitationally bound (they are listed as possible group members in NED). Given its distance and apparent size of 1.6 by 0.5 arcmin, NGC 7201 is about 95 thousand light years across.

NGC 7202
Recorded (Aug 15, 1835) by John Herschel
A 14th-magnitude star in Piscis Austrinus (RA 22 06 43.3, Dec -31 13 07)
NGC 7203 (= PGC 68053)
Discovered (Sep 27, 1834) by John Herschel
A 13th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type (R')SB(r)0/a) in Piscis Austrinus (RA 22 06 43.8, Dec -31 09 48)
Based on a recessional velocity of 4060 km/sec, NGC 7203 is about 190 million light years away. Given that and its 1.6 by 0.9 arcmin apparent size, it is about 90 thousand light years across. Although considerably further away, NGC 7203 is in nearly the same direction as NGC 7204, which see for a wide-field image of the region between the two. |

NGC 7204 (= PGC 68060 (= PGC 68054) + PGC 68061 (= PGC 2801173))
Discovered (Sep 27, 1834) by John Herschel
A pair of interacting galaxies in Piscis Austrinus
PGC 68061 = 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type S0/a pec) at RA 22 06 53.1, Dec -31 03 00
PGC 68060 = 14th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SBab pec) at RA 22 06 55.0, Dec -31 03 13
Based on a recessional velocity of 2590 km/sec, galaxy pair NGC 7204 is about 120 million light years away. The more elongated southeastern Component 2 (PGC 68060) has a bright central region about 1.2 by 0.3, with a fainter western extension not quite the same size. Given that and its distance, the brighter portion is about 40 thousand light years across, and the overall extent of the galaxy is about 70 thousand light years. The irregularly round northwestern Component 1 (PGC 68061) has a bright central region about 0.6 by 0.4 arcmin, and fainter east-west extensions which approximately double that size. Given that and its distance, its brighter portion is about 20 thousand light years across, and the overall size of the galaxy is about 40 thousand light years. (Note: NED appears to reverse the size of the two components, although its coordinates agree with those listed above.) Even in the crude images below it is obvious that the two galaxies are strongly interacting, and a really good image of the pair would undoubtedly be quite spectacular.

NGC 7205 (= PGC 68128)
Discovered (Jul 10, 1834) by John Herschel
An 11th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA(s)bc) in Tucana (RA 22 08 33.2, Dec -57 26 33)
Based on a recessional velocity of 1685 km/sec, NGC 7205 is about 80 million light years away, in reasonable agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 50 to 75 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 4.0 by 2.0 arcmin, it is about 90 thousand light years across. (Note: Other than being in roughly the same direction, there is no relationship between NGC 7205 and 7205A, which is much further away; but see the latter for an image of the "optical double".) |

A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA(s)c) in Tucana (RA 22 07 32.0, Dec -57 27 51)
Based on a recessional velocity of 7235 km/sec, PGC 68083 is about 340 million light years away. Given that and its 1.2 by 0.9 arcmin apparent size, it is about 120 thousand light years across. (Note: Other than being in roughly the same direction, there is no relationship between NGC 7205A and 7205, which is much closer.)

NGC 7236 (= PGC 68384)
Discovered (Aug 25, 1864) by Albert Marth (468)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SA0-) in Pegasus (RA 22 14 45.0, Dec +13 50 47)
Based on a recessional velocity of 7880 km/sec, NGC 7236 is about 365 million light years away, in poor agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of only 250 to 280 million light years. Assuming a distance corresponding to its redshift, its apparent size of 1.25 by 0.55 arcmin would represent a physical size of about 130 thousand light years. It is a contact companion of NGC 7237, meaning that whatever their distance, the two galaxies are at the same distance from us. A third galaxy in line with the pair, PGC 200377 (listed in NED as NGC 7237C), is probably not physically connected with them, but may well be a member of the same group of galaxies.

NGC 7237 (= PGC 68383)
Discovered (Aug 25, 1864) by Albert Marth (469)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SA0-) in Pegasus (RA 22 14 46.9, Dec +13 50 27)
Based on a recessional velocity of 7870 km/sec, NGC 7237 is about 365 million light years away, in poor agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of only 250 to 280 million light years. Assuming a distance corresponding to its redshift, its apparent size of 1.8 by 0.7 arcmin would represent a physical size of about 190 thousand light years. It is a contact companion of NGC 7236 (which see for images), meaning that whatever their distance, the two galaxies are at the same distance from us.

PGC 200377 (= "NGC 7237C")
Listed here as an apparent companion of NGC 7236 and 7237
A 16th-magnitude galaxy (type S?) in Pegasus (RA 22 14 48.8, Dec +13 50 01)
Based on a recessional velocity of 7155 km/sec, PGC 200377 (listed in NED as NGC 7237C) is about 330 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 0.45 by 0.35 arcmin, it is about 45 thousand light years across. PGC 200377 is nearly in line with galaxy pair NGC 7237 and 7236 (which see for images), and may well be a group member with them; but the 700 km/sec velocity difference between it and the pair implies that it is over 30 million light years closer to us. Even if PGC 200377 happened to be at the same distance as the pair, and its difference in velocity was not due to a difference in distance but to a difference in the galaxies' peculiar velocities (that is, their random motions relative to each other), such a large velocity relative to its "companions" would prevent it from remaining in their sphere of influence for very long. So whether it is a foreground object or not, it is certainly not a permanent companion of the two larger galaxies.

NGC 7249 (= PGC 68606)
Discovered (Oct 4, 1834) by John Herschel
A 13th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SA0^0) in Grus (RA 22 20 30.9, Dec -55 07 29)
Based on a recessional velocity of 11945 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that NGC 7249 is about 555 million light years away. However, for objects at that distance we must take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 530 million light years away when the light by which we see it was emitted, about 540 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 1.1 by 0.8 arcmin, NGC 7249 is about 170 thousand light years across. |
