Triplet Sc(s)II CD-799-S Feb 24/25, 1979 103aO + GG385 45 min NGC 2848 forms an apparent triplet with NGC 2851 (S0_3_ or very early Sa, not in the RSA) at an angular separation of 5.1', and with an ImIV dwarf irregular at 3.6' from NGC 2848. The brightest of the HII-region-candidate knots in NGC 2848 and in the ImIV candidate companion are about the same brightness. The same is true of candidates for the brightest individual stars in each galaxy, strengthening the case for a common distance; the redshifts of NGC 2851 and the ImIV dwarf are not yet known (c. 1990). If the triplet is at a common distance of 36 Mpc, based on v_o = 1795 km/s of NGC 2848, the projected linear separations of the companions from NGC 2848 would be small, at 53 kpc and 38 kpc. The two principal well-defined arms in NGC 2848 begin at the center [(s)-type pattern] and branch to form most of the multiple arms over the face of the disk. = Holm 128a Non-interacting pair with NGC 2851 at 5.2 arcmin NGC 2847 (= Holm 128c?) is a star involved in NGC 2848. Holm 128b at 1.1 arcmin is probably a star. UGCA 160: = NGC 2848 SAB(s)c: (RC1) paired with NGC 2851 at 5.2, 070, (0.9 x 0.4), E-S0 Type: vB - S- IV:, Morg - afS3, Vauc - SAB (s)c:. This is Holmberg triple No. 128, but both companions are stars. = Holm 128a Bright center with a star close by. 2 main knotty arms with many branches. NGC 2847 (= Holm 128c?) is a star involved in the nebulosity of NGC 2848 (see Helwan 30). Holm 128b at 1.1 arcmin is probably a star. Non-interacting pair with NGC 2851 at 5.2 arcmin. |
