Correct identification of this object edit
The correct identification of some NGC objects is difficult due to errors and misunderstandings of the original observer and of the astronomers that, during time, made and re-analysed the data.
Use the information of different sources, NGC 4171 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 4170, NGC 4171 and NGC 4173 are different objects: two stars and one galaxy, respectively (see also these two discussions for other informations)!
| Source | Identifications | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NGC/IC project in VizieR (Q1662358) | UGC 7204 | [1] | right identification |
| NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) | UGC 7204 | [2] | right identification |
| Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) | UGC 7204 | [3] | right identification |
| SIMBAD (Q654724) | UGC 7204, NGC 4170,NGC 4171 | [4] | right identification, but wrong assignment to NGC 4170 and NGC 4171! |
- It would be prudent do not use SIMBAD (Q654724) database to recover catalogue names of this object!
