Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Nearby Spiral Galaxy Maffei 2
Abstract
Spectra, photographs, and photometric measurements have been used to show that Maffei 2 has a distance of 5 ± 2 Mpc and that it has a morphological type near Sbc II-in agreement with similar conclusions made earlier by radio observers. We discuss the possible relationships between Maffei 2 and the elliptical galaxy Maffei 1; there are serious inconsistencies in the existing data which bear on this question.
