Antlia

The stars that make Antlia are not bright or easy to see.

The constellation Antlia is a group of stars in the southern sky.

It is the brightest galaxy in Antlia at an integrated magnitude of 10.6.

It is a member of the Antlia Cluster, which lies about 98 million light years away.

There seems to have been a major episode of star formation in the Antlia Dwarf around 100 million years ago.

It was located between the constellations of Antlia and Hydra.

The constellation was created in the 18th century from an undesignated region of sky, so the stars comprising Antlia are faint.

HD 93083 is an 8th magnitude star located approximately 94 light years away in the southern constellation of Antlia.

NGC 3258 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Antlia.

This set is based on the Greek set and later some southern constellations were added, for example Antlia - the air pump.

NGC 3281 is a large spiral galaxy without a bar in the constellation Antlia.

Though Antlia was technically visible to ancient Greek astronomers, its stars were too faint to have been included in any constellations.

The Antlia Dwarf is a dwarf spheroidal/irregular galaxy.

Zeta Antliae is the Bayer designation for a star in the southern constellation of Antlia, the air pump.

The Antlia Dwarf and NGC 3109 may be actually physically bound if the distance between them is not very large.

U Antliae (U Ant) is a star in the constellation Antlia.

NGC 2997 is a face-on unbarred spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years away in the constellation Antlia.

Because it occupies a part of the celestial sphere that faces away from the Milky Way, Antlia contains very few deep-sky objects.

The Antlia Dwarf, a 14.8 dwarf spheroidal galaxy that belongs to our Local Group of galaxies.

Several stars in the southern part of Antlia were a portion of "Dong'ou", which represented an area in southern China.

The Antlia Dwarf is believed to be tidally interacting with the small barred spiral galaxy, NGC 3109.

Sextans B may also be gravitationally associated with the galaxies NGC 3109 and the Antlia Dwarf.

Pyxis is a small constellation bordered by Hydra to the north, Puppis to the west, Vela to the south, and Antlia to the east.

S Antliae is a W Ursae Majoris-type eclipsing binary variable star in Antlia.

The warp has the same radial velocity as gas in the Antlia Dwarf galaxy, indicating that the two galaxies had a close encounter approximately one billion years ago.
