IC 1100 (=
NGC 5881 = PGC 53920)
Discovered (Apr 26, 1789) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 5881)
Discovered (Jun 22, 1889) by Lewis Swift (IX-45) (and later listed as IC 1100)
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S?) in Draco (RA 15 06 20.6, Dec +62 58 50)

IC 1101 (= PGC 54167)
Discovered (Jun 19, 1890) by
Edward Swift
Also observed (Jul 1899 to Jun 1900) by Herbert Howe
A magnitude 13.7 lenticular galaxy (type cD/S0) in Virgo (RA 15 10 56.1, Dec +05 44 41)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, IC 1101 (Swift list IX (#47), 1860 RA 15 04 01, NPD 83 42.2) has "no description" (Swift's paper states that his son was the discoverer). The second IC adds (per Howe) "Description is extremely faint, very small, 13th magnitude star 1.5 seconds east, 13th magnitude star 2 seconds west and a little north." The position precesses to RA 15 10 56.9, Dec +05 45 49, just over 1 arcmin north-northeast of the galaxy listed above, Howe's description perfectly fits the object and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: IC 1101 is a giant elliptical galaxy, and one of the largest of thousands of galaxies in galaxy cluster Abell 2029. Based on a recessional velocity of 23370 km/sec (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), a straightforward calculation indicates that IC 1101 is about 1090 million light years away, somewhat larger than a single redshift-independent distance estimate of about 855 million light years (but not an unusual difference for such large distances). However, for objects at such distances we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 995 million light years away (closer to but still larger than the redshift-independant distance) at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 1030 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of about 1.3 by 0.7 arcmin (from the images below), it is about 375 thousand light years across, but its outer halo, which is about 2 arcmin long, spans nearly 600 thousand light years.

IC 1114
Recorded (Mar 28, 1889) by

IC 1115
Recorded (May 28, 1889) by
Lewis Swift (VIII-87)
A pair of 15th-magnitude stars in Libra (RA 15 22 19.0, Dec -04 28 28)
Per Dreyer, IC 1115 is "most extremely faint, small, round, pretty bright star to southeast". The second IC adds (per Howe) "Only a double star of 12.5 and 13.5 magnitude, distance 5 arcsec." Per Corwin, Howe identified the object (in a paper published in 1898) with the pair of stars whose position is listed above, based on the 11th-magnitude star about 5 arcmin to the southeast. (The 17th-magnitude galaxy near the pair of stars is too faint for either Swift or Howe to have seen.)

IC 1116 (= PGC 54848)
Discovered (Jun 19, 1890) by
Edward Swift (IX-49)
A 13th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type E/S0) in Serpens (RA 15 21 55.2, Dec +08 25 26)
Apparent size 1.2 by 0.8 arcmin.

IC 1117 (= PGC 55003)
Discovered (Jul 8, 1891) by
Stephane Javelle (348)
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S) in Serpens (RA 15 24 22.8, Dec +15 29 21)

IC 1118 (=
IC 4543 = PGC 55035)
Discovered (Jul 29, 1891) by Stephane Javelle (349) (and later listed as IC 1118)
Discovered (Jun 3, 1897) by Lewis Swift (and later listed as IC 4543)
A magnitude 14.3 lenticular galaxy (type E/S0?) in Serpens (RA 15 24 59.5, Dec +13 26 42)

IC 1119 (= PGC 55062 + PGC 1068507)
Discovered (Aug 16, 1893) by
Stephane Javelle (788)
A 15th-magnitude galaxy pair in Serpens
PGC 55062: A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S?) at RA 15 25 44.7, Dec -03 39 31
PGC 1068507: A 16th-magnitude compact galaxy (type C) at RA 15 25 44.1, Dec -03 39 12
Available images suggest that this object represents a middle stage in the collision and merging of two previously separate objects. Based on a recessional velocity of 9745 km/sec, IC 1119 is about 450 million light years away. (For galaxies at such a distance the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us makes a small difference in the distance estimate, but it is only a small one in comparison to the uncertainty associated with such an estimate, so I do not bother to apply it unless the recessional velocity exceeds 10,000 km/sec.) Given that and the 0.6 by 0.4 arcmin apparent size of the spiral (PGC 55062), it is about 80 thousand light years across, while the 0.3 by 0.3 apparent size of the compact galaxy (PGC 106850) would make it about half that size.

Lewis Swift (VIII-88)
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sbc) in Serpens (RA 15 30 00.9, Dec +23 38 18)
The second IC adds "Evidently = Javelle #1367, 1860 RA 15 23 55, NPD 65 53.0, pretty bright, considerably small, extended 250°, nuclear." Apparent size 0.8 by 0.4 arcmin.

IC 1125 (= PGC 55388)
Discovered (Jun 10, 1893) by

A 14th-magnitude star in Serpens (RA 15 35 00.8, Dec +04 59 26)

IC 1127 (=
IC 4553 = PGC 55497 = Arp 220)
Discovered (May 4, 1866) by Truman Safford (and later listed as IC 1127)
Discovered (Jul 25, 1903) by Stephane Javelle (and later listed as IC 4553)
A magnitude 13.2 spiral galaxy (type Scd? pec) in Serpens (RA 15 34 57.2, Dec +23 30 09)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, IC 1127 (= Safford #7, 1860 RA 15 29 50, NPD 66 03.2) is "pretty faint". The position precesses to RA 15 35 54.5, Dec +23 28 48, about a minute of time to the east of the galaxy listed above, but this is a fairly typical error for Safford, as he merely centered the telescope on his discoveries, then used the setting circles to determine an approximate position (the IC1 positions look more precise than Safford's original measurements because they involve a correction for precession, in the same way that the precessed positions in these entries look more precise than the 1860 NGC/IC positions for the same reason). In any event, PGC 55497 is the only object in the region that could possibly be what Safford observed, so the identification is considered essentially certain. (The double entry was caused by the fact that Javelle's position was much more accurate, and therefore apparently in a completely different position.)
Physical Information: Apparent size 1.8 by 1.2 arcmin. Used by the Arp Atlas as an example of a galaxy with adjacent loops.

A 15th-magnitude compact galaxy (type C) at RA 15 44 59.9, Dec +16 57 33
Apparent size of lenticular galaxy is 0.6 by 0.4 arcmin; of compact galaxy is 0.3 by 0.3 arcmin. (Unless the IC states that the object is double or noticeably elongated, only the brighter galaxy is likely to have been observed by Javelle; but that question will be discussed in the next iteration of this page.)

A 13th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E3) in Serpens (RA 15 57 08.1, Dec +22 24 18)
An odd duplication caused by Dreyer not noticing Safford's observations until after finishing the NGC. As a result, the original entry for NGC 6020 lists another observer and different data; but there is no doubt that Safford's observation was of the same object at an earlier date, hence his being credited with a double discovery on the basis of a single observation. Also for that reason, this entry will only contain historical information; for physical data and images see NGC 6020.
