[M83]
The M83 group of galaxies
- M83 (NGC 5236)
- NGC 5128 (Centaurus A, Dun 482)
- NGC 5253 (H 2.638)
- NGC 4945 (Dunlop 411)
- NGC 5102 (h 3492)
- NGC 5264 (h 3528)
- NGC 5408 (h 3553)
- IC 4247 (Frost 1042 - Ann. Har. 60 (1908))
- IC 4316 (Frost 1083 - Ann. Har. 60 (1908))
- ESO 381-20 (MCG-6-28-017; 1243-33)
- ESO 324-24 (MCG-6-30-003; 1324-41)
- ESO 444-84 (MCG-5-32-000; 1334-27)
- ESO 325-11 (1342-41)
- ESO 383-87 (MCG-6-30-025; 1346-35)
Near or on the edge of this group, thus possibly further, outlying members are:
- NGC 5068: At approximately the same distance, but 20 deg north of the
group's center (corresponding to a distance of about 3 million ly) or half
- Circinus Galaxy (ESO 97-13): At a similar distance, but about 22 deg south
of Centaurus A (again about 3 million ly)
