# IC2796 NED02

IC2796 NED02 is a [galaxy](https://spacecatalog.org/galaxies) in the constellation [Leo](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/leo), 1.157 Gly from Earth, shining at apparent magnitude 18.19 (B). Other catalogues list it as PGC 1363734, SDSS J112408.41+092034.4 and SDSS J112408.42+092034.5.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Galaxy
- **HOW FAR:** 1.157 Gly — A luminosity distance, from its redshift — how faint it looks. The light itself left 1.02 billion years ago.
- **HOW BIG ON THE SKY:** 22″ — Small enough that the full Moon would cover it several times over.
- **HOW BRIGHT (B):** 18.19 — Faint: it takes a large telescope.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Leo](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/leo) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.

## Catalogue data

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Apparent magnitude (B) | 18.19 |
| Surface brightness | 24.79 mag/arcsec² |

### WHERE IT IS AND HOW IT MOVES

Position, motion across the sky and the size it covers on it. These are measurements of the object as seen from here, so every one of them depends on where here is.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Radial velocity | 22 203 km/s |
| Redshift (z) | 0.07702 |
| Redshift (z, CMB frame) | 0.0782934 |
| Major axis | 0.37′ |
| Minor axis | 0.17′ |
| Position angle | 17° |

### OTHER NAMES AND NUMBERS

The identifiers other catalogues file this object under, for anyone joining this data to theirs.
