NGC 3190

Introduction | Map | My Own Photos | My Own Observations | References

On this page I collect my observations of the spiral galaxy NGC 3190 in the constellation Leo, which is also part of the Leo Quartet (Hickson 44).

Introduction

The spiral galaxy NGC 3190 in the constellation Leo belongs, together with NGC 3185 (barred spiral), NGC 3187 (barred spiral), and NGC 3193 (elliptical) to the compact galaxy group Hickson 44, also called Leo Quartet. NGC 3190, NGC 3187, and NGC 3193 also form the galaxy group Arp 316.

The southwestern arm of the galaxy NGC 3190 received its own entry in the NGC catalog (NGC 3189), which was observed by the astronomer George Johnstone Stoney in January 1850.
