These PGC pages are primarily a supplement to the NGC/IC pages and my online text. As each NGC/IC page is completed, or pages in the online text are revised, any PGC objects mentioned will be entered on their corresponding PGC pages, with just a link to the original page if the object is discussed in detail at that location, or a more thorough discussion and images if the object is merely mentioned at the original location. |
PGC 69253 (= NGC 7314 = Arp 14)
PGC 69293 (= Arp 3)
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA(s)m) in Aquarius (RA 22 36 35, Dec -02 54 24)
Based on a recessional velocity of 1690 km/sec, Arp 3 is about 80 million light years away, in good agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 75 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 2.4 by 2.0 arcmin, it is about 50 thousand light years across. |
