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 5175 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 5175 is a star superimposed to the galaxy NGC 5162/NGC 5174 and not the galaxy itself! For other informations see also these two discussions.
| Source | Identifications | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NGC/IC project in VizieR (Q1662358) | star | [1] | right identification |
| NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) | star | [2] | right identification |
| Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) | PGC 47346 = NGC 5174 | [3] | wrong identification! |
| SIMBAD (Q654724) | PGC 47346 = NGC 5162 = NGC 5174 | [4] | wrong identification! |
- It would be prudent do not use SIMBAD (Q654724) and Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) databases to recover the data of object!
