Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 3800 is a close pair of galaxies, verified (as a single object) on the print of Wolf's plate. The separation is only 10 arcseconds; it is not yet known if these make a physical pair as the redshift for only the eastern galaxy is known (z = 0.0405). I had earlier speculated that the western object might simply be a plume from the eastern; it is not a plume, but an "early" barred spiral.
