NGC 5055
Other Names: Sunflower Galaxy; UGC 8334, M63
Astronomical Leage Program: Messier Club
Rating: 3 E
Position: 1316+4202
Type: Gal
Surface brightness: 13.6
Class: Sb
Dimensions: 9' x 4'
Magnitude: 9.8
PA: 105
Notes:
P. Mechain discovered it on June 14, 1779. Messier wrote of it that "the least
illumination of the micrometer wires makes it disappear."
It is 90,000 light years in diameter with a mass of 115 billion suns.
It is also a Seyfert galaxy.
It is what is known as a "flocculent" galaxy due to the many narrow, very splotchy
arms that wrap tightly around the huge nucleus.
Observations:
C8 at 104x. This galaxy has a bright nucleus with an E-W halo. It takes higher
powers well, but reveals no details.
A very bright foreground star is a pain! A 10m star lies 4 min W of the center. And a
four-star grouping lies NE.
Model (where the Sun is a baseball):
Its diameter would be 29.5 million miles.
Distance (LY): 35,000,000

Type: Gal
Surface brightness: 13.6
Class: S
Dimensions: 2.3' x 1.8'
Magnitude: 12.3
PA: 90
Observations:
C8 at 104x. It either has a star-like nucleus or a very faint foreground star
superimposed. About 8 min S lies a wonderful asterism of 8 or 10 stars of 9m to 11m.
They form a rough outline of a "V" that points to the E.

Surface brightness: 12.8

Dimensions: 1.4' x 1'
Magnitude: 12.6
PA: 143
Observations:
C11 at 193x. 8.1m HD 116056 is 1 min N and is a real problem! Nudge it out of the
field of view with high power or use an occulting bar (like I did). Very, very faint, small,
and very slowly brighter to the middle. About 20" in diameter. It was easier at 339x.
30-inch Ruisinger at 94x. HD 116056 is still a problem, but not as bad as in the C11.
An extremely faint star (~15m?) lies about 15sec E of the galaxy. The nucleus is fairly
bright, but the halo is quite small and diffuse. Starhopped from NGC 5023.
Radial velocity (km/sec): +1,276

Notes:
Hipparcos gives different distances for these two stars. For 16 CVn, it gives a
distance of 1,140 light years (implying a luminosity of 330 Suns). For 17 CVn,
Hipparcos gives 202 light years, for an assumed luminosity of 14 Suns. The system is
now generally regarded as optical.

C8 at 65x. Bright oval smudge (NE-SW). It lies on a line formed by two 8m stars
(one NW the other SE). Geoff Chester reports seeing a hint of a dust lane on the N edge
(in an 8" Newtonian), but I did not see it. Barbara Wilson, using a 20" reflector in Texas,
saw the dust lane.

Notes:

Observations:

faint, with a N-S axis. The nucleus is stellar, and the galaxy is mottled under high power.
Try using averted vision. There are two pairs of stars, each consisting of 8.1m and 9.2m
components, nearby— one 24 min E and the other 20 minE.
