Contemporary Visual Observation(s) for NGC 4536
NGC 4536 = UGC 07732 = MCG +00-32-023 = CGCG 014-068 = PGC 41823 12 34 27.1 +02 11 16 V = 10.6; Size 7.6x3.2; SB = 13.9; PA = 130d 17.5": fairly bright, very large, very elongated NW-SE, weak concentration, stellar nucleus. Spiral structure is suspected at the ends of the major axis. Forms a pair with N4533 8' N. Located 12' WSW of mag 7.0 SAO 119485 and 12' S of mag 8.6 SAO 119474 (4' N of N4533). N4527 lies 30' N. - by Steve Gottlieb
Historical Research Notes / Correction for NGC 4536
NGC 4536. Note that the galaxy with this name included in UGC is actually an incorrect reference to IC 3556, which is not NGC 4563. See both the other NGC number and the IC number for more discussion. - Dr. Harold G. Corwin, Jr.
Correction Disclaimer
As with all corrections to the NGC and IC Catalogues, there is a certain margin for error, even though the evidence supporting the correction may be strong and compelling. It is with this in mind that we ask the user to use this information as 'Most Probable', but never to assume the correction is 'Absolute'. All published corrections are based on an exhaustive 'paper chase' of the historical record back to the original discoverer's published notes/papers, and are therefore based upon the historical accuracy (or inaccuracy) of those particular notes/papers. In short, Caveat Emptor! - Robert E. Erdmann, Jr.
