NGC 5457

The area to the northeast of M101 sized 39 x 31 arcmin, in which the Dragonfly DF 6 and DF 7 objects and two new M101 satellite candidates dwB and dwC are located. Down from the center, a far background galaxy NGC5485 is located (a distance of 28 Mpc), around which diffuse elliptical shells, shown by the arrows were detected for the first time.
The coordinates of these new LSB galaxies are the following:
M101 dwB: R.A. = 14 h 08 min 43.1 s and DEC = +55 ° 09 ‘ 57 ”
M101 dwC: R.A. = 14 h 05 min 18.0 s and DEC = +54 ° 53 ‘ 56 ”

Note: This webpage gives information of two galaxies. NGC 5457 (M 101) as well as NGC 5485, because both galaxies are published in one single image from F. Neyer .
