Talk:NeVe 1

.

There does not seem to be any mention of the name NeVe 1 in the referenced sources, or indeed anywhere in astronomical literature. Where has this name come from, and how has it ended up titling a Wikipedia article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astronemma (talk • contribs) 21:53, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

The name was the discovery name, assigned when it was discovered in the 80's. It was not mentioned much in the literature because the Ophiuchus Cluster has very little research in it to begin with, the Neckel-Vehrenberg Catalogue being not put into widespread use (it only had 8 objects plus 15 in the NeVe-3 edition), and most of the studies associated with this talks about the Ophiuchus Cluster as a whole, not the central galaxy.

Of course, we ended up with having NeVe 1 as the title because it was the discovery name. That's it. Even if the catalogue itself is not very notable, it should rightfully be assigned as such. Plus, the alternatives are just plain ridiculous (WISEA with lots of numbers). SkyFlubbler (talk) 13:36, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

It's an interesting article. There should be much more of those! (of all astronomical objects which have number 1 of an obscure (read: unknown) catalog). DannyCaes (talk) 19:58, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
