NGC 6041 is a giant elliptical galaxy [2] located about 470 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Hercules. [4] NGC 6041 has an extended envelope that is distorted towards the galaxy pair Arp 122. [2] NGC 6041 is the brightest galaxy (BCG) in the Hercules Cluster. [5] [6] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on ...

NGC 6041 is a Galaxy Pair in the Hercules constellation. NGC 6041 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Given its B magnitude of 14.9, NGC 6041 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches (500mm) or more.

2024年1月12日 · This dramatic cosmic encounter is located at the very safe distance of roughly 570 million light-years from Earth. Peeking in at the lower-left corner is the elliptical galaxy NGC 6041, a central member of the galaxy cluster that Arp 122 resides in, but otherwise not participating in this monster merger.

NGC 6041 is one of many (200) galaxies within the Abell 2151 cluster. Located some 500 million light years away in the Hercules constellation, it is rich in interacting galaxies. Part of the Hercules Supercluster this group is part of the much larger Great Wall super-structure.

2024年6月2日 · The first member galaxies (NGC 6040, NGC 6041 and NGC 6042) had been discovered on 4 June 1869 by French astronomer Édouard Stephan using the the 31-inch Foucault reflector at Marseille observatory.

2024年11月7日 · The astronomical object called NGC 6041 is a Brightest Galaxy in a Cluster (BCG)

2023年9月11日 · (Note: The "kudzu" image linked from my de Vaucouleurs page shows everything from NGC 6040 to 6042 without any labels; the central galaxy is NGC 6041, the one to is southeast is NGC 6042/39, and the pair to the northwest is the actual Arp 122.)

NGC 6041 est une vaste et lointaine galaxie lenticulaire située dans la constellation d'Hercule. Sa vitesse par rapport au fond diffus cosmologique est de 10 566 ± 28 km/s, ce qui correspond à une distance de Hubble de 155,8 ± 10,9 Mpc (∼508 millions d'al) [1]. NGC 6041 a été découverte par l'astronome français Édouard Stephan en 1870.

NGC 6041 is a Galaxy located in the constellation of Hercules in the northern hemisphere. NGC 6041's distance from Earth is 434,874,083.07 light years. NGC 6041 is called NGC 6041 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work.
