M94 Group

The Canes Venatici - I group, short CVn I, also M94 Group, a group of galaxies, the counts at a distance of about 13 million light-years to our nearest clusters of galaxies outside the Local Group. How the Local Group and other nearby groups of galaxies, it is one to the Virgo Supercluster The group is in the sky in the constellations of hunting dogs, Canes Venatici namesake of Latin, and Coma Berenices. The brightest member, which is certainly one of this group is the 9.0 likes bright spiral galaxy M 94 ​​The membership of about the same brightness, but due to much further away absolutely brighter galaxy M 106 is controversial.

Studies of the dynamics of the group indicate that the members of the group are bound by the gravity only weakly with each other. This can be deduced from the fact that the radial velocities of the individual group members corresponding to the expected for each distance by the expansion of the universe. The lack of spheroidal dwarf galaxies in this group points to the weak binding of its members towards ..

Members

The following table lists the members of the group clearly identified Nearby Galaxies Catalog after, the Lyons Groups of Galaxies Catalog ( LGG ), and the lists. Nearby Optical Galaxy from the sample of Giuricin et al were created.

Additionally, some still NGC 4105 and UGC 8331 are counted as members of the group. As mentioned above, the group membership of M 106 is questionable.
