IC 4000 (= PGC 2152407)
Discovered (Mar 21, 1903) by Max Wolf (5-127)
A magnitude 15.3 lenticular galaxy (type S0/a(r)?) in Canes Venatici (RA 12 59 36.6, Dec +39 35 16)
Based on a recessional velocity of 33350 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that IC 4000 is about 1550 million light years away. However, for objects at that distance we need to take the expansion of the Universe during their light-travel time into account. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 1370 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 1440 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the Universe during that interval). Given that and its apparent size of 0.25 by 0.2 arcmin, the galaxy is about 100 thousand light years across.

IC 4006

IC 4007 (= PGC 3800218)
Discovered (Jan 27, 1904) by Max Wolf (6-135)
A magnitude 15.4 lenticular galaxy (type S0/a?) in Coma Berenices (RA 13 00 07.0, Dec +19 57 53)
plus a magnitude 16.7 double star ("PGC 4662914") at RA 13 00 06.7, Dec +19 57 46
Most references list the double star as a double galaxy, and on Wolf's plate the double probably appeared to be part of the IC object, hence my decision to list it as such in this entry (and in fact both NED and LEDA use the position of the double star as the position of IC 4007). Apparent size 0.4 by 0.2 arcmin?

IC 4016 (= PGC 44696 = "NGC 4893A")
Discovered (Mar 21, 1903) by Max Wolf (5-137)
A magnitude 15.0 lenticular galaxy (type S0? pec) in Canes Venatici (RA 12 59 59.9, Dec +37 11 14)
Apparent size 0.3 by 0.2 arcmin. An interacting pair with NGC 4893, and as a result often called NGC 4893A. (Note: LEDA and Wikisky only show the object by searching for PGC 44696.)

IC 4017 (= PGC 1672129)
Discovered (Jan 27, 1904) by Max Wolf (6-138)
A magnitude 15.4 spiral galaxy (type SBb? pec) in Coma Berenices (RA 13 00 16.0, Dec +22 33 20)
Based on a recessional velocity of 53175 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that IC 4017 is about 2475 million light years away. However, for objects at that distance we need to take the expansion of the Universe during their light-travel time into account. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 2025 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 2200 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the Universe during that interval). Given that and its apparent size of 0.37 by 0.15 arcmin, the galaxy is about 220 thousand light years across. (The bright knot on its western edge may be a region of unusual activity, or an interacting companion.)
