Whirlpool Galaxy -- Sbc galaxy, sky charts (1 degree & 30 arcmin sides) with list of objects below, in order of distance from galaxy at center.

comment on field displayed below: Face-on Seyfert galaxy, almost ringed by a shroud of objects. Some would say that the pattern of object is related to lensing by an underlying structure of "dark matter". Or perhaps some of these objects are at the galaxy distance. A full picture will have to await a future careful study.

Columns of table:

  1. label -- identifier for each optical object displayed on the chart(s) above.
  2. coordinates J2000 -- position on the sky of this optical object, pattern is hhmmss.s±ddmmss, which gives 1 arcsecond precision.
  3. dist asec -- distance (offset in arcseconds) of this object from the central galaxy, i.e. the center of the chart.
  4. angle E-N -- direction from the central galaxy to this object, N thru E, ie. 0 is up, 90 is left, 180 is down, 270 is rightwards.
  5. type -- short description of this object: Q=quasar, B=Bl lac, A=AGN, G=galaxy, S=star, X=X-ray source, R=radio source, 2=double radio lobes.
  6. R mag, B mag -- brightness of this object in red and blue colors respectively, 0=not seen in this color
  7. com -- comment on object: p=blue is POSSI-O violet, (no p)=blue is Bj green or similar, i=red is i, u=blue is u, v=variablility nominally detected, m=proper motion nominally detected, ?=inferred object, calculated from combining APM and USNO-A optical catalogs.
  8. R psf, B psf -- appearance of object in red and blue colors respectively, *=stellar, 1=fuzzy, 2=extended, n=no psf, x=not seen in this color.
  9. Name -- name of this object from the literature, or IAU name from X-ray/radio catalog.
  10. conf assoc -- confidence that this optical object is the true source of the X-ray or radio detection that we list with it. This is the published figure from the QORG catalog, except for XMM or CXOMP X-ray objects which are calculated using the identical technique as used in QORG.
  11. QSO pct -- confidence that this optical object is a QSO specifically, calculated as in (10) above.
  12. z -- the redshift of this object, from the literature. NBCKDE redshifts are photometric only, and rounded to tenths, e.g. 1.700.
  13. flux -- if a radio source, in mJy; if an X-ray source, in counts per hour as listed in ROSAT/CXOMP, XMM normalised to ROSAT (div by 3.5).
