NGC 1426 is an elliptical galaxy approximately 59 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Eridanus. [1] It was discovered by William Herschel in December 9, 1784. [ 3 ]
IDCS J1426.5+3508 (IDCS 1426 for short) is an extremely massive young galaxy cluster. It is the most massive galaxy cluster detected at such an early age. This rare galaxy cluster, which is located 10 billion light travel distance years from Earth, has a mass of almost 500 trillion Suns.
40 Eridani is the system's Flamsteed designation and ο² Eridani (Latinised to Omicron 2 Eridani) its Bayer designation.The designations of the sub-components – 40 Eridani A, B and C – derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Mu Eridani (μ Eridani) is a binary star system in the constellation Eridanus.It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.00. [3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 0.00625 arcseconds, [2] it is located roughly 520 light years from the Sun.
1426 Riviera, provisional designation 1937 GF, is a bright asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 16 kilometers in diameter. Discovered by Marguerite Laugier at the Nice Observatory in 1937, the asteroid was later named for the Côte d'Azur, also known as French Riviera .
ζ Eridani (Latinised to Zeta Eridani) is the binary star's Bayer designation.WDS J03158-0849 A is its designation in the Washington Double Star Catalog.The designations of the two components as WDS J03158-0849 Aa and Ab derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Tau 4 Eridani (τ 4 Eridani, τ 4 Eri) is a binary star system in the constellation Eridanus.It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.65. [2] The distance to this star can be estimated using the parallax method, which yields a value of roughly 300 light years.
