Accurate Positions for MCG Galaxies
We have measured accurate celestial coordinates for 4741 extragalacticobjects, primarily drawn from a list of MCG galaxies with no recentlypublished accurate positions. The standard deviations in the newpositions depend slightly on the measurement method but are on the orderof 1.0" to 1.2". Standard deviations in the original MCG positions areconfirmed to be at the 1.5′-2.0′ level. These new positionswere integrated into NED in 1997 December.
| Radial Velocities of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

| New redshifts in the Virgo cluster
Spectra have been obtained for 23 galaxies near the center of the Virgocluster. A master list of redshifts and morphology was assembled for allgalaxies within 6 deg of the cluster center. Reanalysis of the meanredshift of the total spiral (S) and elliptical-lenticular (E/S0)samples indicates no difference. However, the late-type (Sbc-Scd)spirals are found to have a significantly higher mean radial velocitythan early types. This shows up as an increase in redshift with radius,since the late-type spirals are found at an average distance of 3.8 degfrom the central regions of the cluster. It is shown that the mostsignificant difference in line-of-sight velocity dispersion occursbetween lenticulars (S0) and spirals (S).
