Redshift data for Messier Galaxies


 * Also available in html: 

    http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/supp/redshift.html

Given below is a table of radial velocities for the Messier galaxies, taken
from Nasa's Extragalactic Database (NED): 

    http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/

Note that some of the galaxies from either the Local Group or the Virgo Cluster
have negative radial velocities (blueshifts instead of redshifts). We also give
positions (RA, Dec) and distances of the galaxies in this table [Warning: don't 
try to derive Hubble's Law from these data :-) ].
