[vsnet-alert 3940] Re: GSC 6875.01922

[Brian Skiff <bas@lowell.edu>]

     Mati's object is a galaxy, CGMW 4-6831, according to SIMBAD.  The
object is one of about 100 found in a search by Roman et al., and published
in 1998 in the PASJ.  The catalogue is available on-line from the data-centers.
Here is the biblio citation from SIMBAD:

1998PASJ...50...37R:  ROMAN A.T., NAKANISHI K., and SAITO M. <Publ. Astron.
    Soc. Jap., 50, 37-46 (1998)>
    A systematic search for galaxies behind the Milky Way at Sagittarius.
  Notes: Available at CDS: <CDS Catalogue: VII/209>
  Dictionary: <CGMW 4-NNNN> (Nos 4-1 to 4-7154) (here table 2: N=107)

The galaxy is classified as an elliptical in this paper, with dimensions
0'.4x0'.2.
     I note also that the GSC-ACT position is:  19 18 05.20  -23 50 02.2,
and that the GSC classes this as stellar.  The "best" position is probably an
average of USNO-A2.0 and GSC-ACT.
