Series of galaxy clusters
The Virgo III Groups ,[ 4] Virgo III Cloud ,[ 5] [ 1] [ 6] [ 3] or the Virgo-Libra Cloud [ 7] [ 8] [ 2] is a galaxy filament [ 3] consisting of at least 13 galaxy groups .[ 7] [ 8] It is located approximately 87 Mly (27 Mpc) from the Solar System .[ 3]
The Virgo III Cloud, like the Leo Cloud ,[ 1] is prolate and points toward the Virgo Cluster .[ 1] [ 6]
List of groups
Below is a list of groups in the Virgo III Cloud according to astronomer Brent Tully .[ 7] [ 8]
Column 1: The name of the group in Tully's NBGG[ 7] [ 8]
Column 2: The right ascension for epoch 2000.
Column 3: The declination for epoch 2000.
Column 4: Number of members of the group.
Column 5: Brightest member of the group
Column 6: Redshift of the group.
Column 7: Distance of the group (Millions of light-years).
Column 8: Cross-Identifications with other catalogs.
