CD-galax

En cD-galax är en tung, mycket ljusstark galax av elliptisk typ som återfinns i centrum av rika galaxhopar. cD-galaxer skiljer sig från vanliga elliptiska galaxer genom en mycket omfattande halo av stjärnor.

Exempel på cD-galaxer

Perseus A (NGC 1275) i stjärnbilden Perseus i galaxhopen Perseushopen (Abell 426).
NGC 6166 i stjärnbilden Herkules i galaxhopen Abell 2199.
IC 1101 i stjärnbilden Jungfrun i galaxhopen Abell 2029. Det är galaxen med den största kända diametern (runt 5.5 miljoner ljusår).
Messier 87 i stjärnbilden Jungfrun är centralgalax i Virgohopen.
NGC 1399 i stjärnbilden Ugnen är centralgalax i Fornaxhopen.
NGC 4889 (Caldwell 35) i stjärnbilden Berenikes hår. Galaxen är den ljusaste i Comahopen.
NGC 6086 i stjärnbilden Norra kronan. Galaxen är den ljusaste i galaxhopen Abell 2162.
QSO 0957 i stjärnbilden Stora björnen är en kvasar som ledde till att den första gravitationslinsen identifierades.
