Object data of UGC10043

Object type: galaxy (Sbc)
Size: 2.7' x 0.4'
Magnitude: 14.8 mag
Constellation: Ser
Distance: 100 Mio Ly
   
Notes: UGC 10043 is a faint edge-on galaxy with a very thin disk component for a galaxy of this Hubble type. Its outer disk is warped like a slight integral sign, as can be seen clearly in the inverted image. Two possible companions of UGC 10043 are identified in the object identification image: PGC 56100 and a dwarf galaxy named "[MD 2004] Dwarf", which was discovered in 2004 by Matthews + de Grijs. This dwarf galaxy is very faint (brightness = 22mag; surface brightness = 26.1 mag per arcsec2).

Object data of Hickson77

Object type: compact galaxy group (4 members)
Size: 0.4' - 0.9'
Magnitude: 15.7 - 17.4 mag
Constellation: Ser
Distance: A+B: 460 Mio Ly  /  C+D: 100 Mio Ly
   
Notes: HCG 77 is a compact group of galaxies which is composed by two close pairs of galaxies having quite different characteristics. HCG77A and HCG77B build a pair in a distance of 460 Mio lightyears, whereas HCG77C and HCG77D are found in a distance of 100 Mio lightyears.
