	Sculptor group of galaxies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sculptor group of galaxies (also known as the South Polar group of galaxies, the South Polar group, or simply the Sculptor group) is a physical group and a galaxy cluster.
		It is one of the closest groups of galaxies to the Local Group at a distance of about 10 million light years away.

	Sculptor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sculptor is one of those obscure constellations invented by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille to help fill in part of the southern sky.
		This is a member of the so-called Sculptor Group, which is one of the nearest galaxy clusters closest to the Milky Way, at about 8 million light years.
		This is perhaps the brighest spiral of the Sculptor Group.

	Local Group
		Among the retinue of the Andromeda Galaxy are: M32, M110, the fainter and more faraway NGCs 147 and 185, the very faint systems And I, And II, And III, and possibly And IV, And V, And VI (the Pegasus Dwarf), and And VII (the Cassiopeia Dwarf).
		The other members of the Local Group, including the Antlia Dwarf and Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte Galaxy, fall outside the main subgroups and float alone in the gravitational seas between the giant group members.
		Indeed, the Local Group is not isolated but is in gravitational interaction and member exchange with the nearest surrounding groups, notably the Maffei 1 Group, the Sculptor Group, the M81 Group, and the M83 Group.

		The Ursa Major Group, believed to be a bit farther than the Sculptor Group, is dominated by the bright and peculiar spirals known as Bode's Galaxies (M81 and M82), which are easily seen in binoculars.
		NGC 2403 and IC 342 (both in Camelopardalis) are considered the principal galaxies of amorphous thickenings or clumps in the Ursa Major Group.
		The northern limit of this large group is near Spica, where one of its larger spirals (M83) was noticed by Pierre Mechain, while collaborating with Messier in 1781.

		The nearest group of galaxies is the Sculptor Group, with six bright spirals, it is 7 million light years away, or 70 cm.
		The galaxies in the sculptor group are all within a 3 million light year diameter, also within a basketball sized sphere (30 cm in diameter).
		Our local group of galaxies, the sculptor group and the Virgo cluster are members of a larger organization of galaxies called a supercluster.

	Sculptor Group
		The nearest group of galaxies to the Local Group; it lies at a distance of 4 to 10 million light-years in the constellation Sculptor.
		The brightest of the five is NGC 253, also known as the Silver Coin Galaxy or the Sculptor Galaxy, a beautiful edge-on spiral.
		The Sculptor Group lies around the south galactic pole and is sometimes called the South Polar Group.

	The Sculptor (South Polar) Group of Galaxies
		It is named the Sculptor Group as it is centered in the Southern constellation Sculptor, and South Polar Group as its members are grouped around the South galactic pole (which is at RA 00:51.4, Dec -27:07 (2000.0)).
		The group is dominated by bright NGC 253, the Sculptor or Silver Coin Galaxy, one of the brightest galaxies beyong the Local Group in the skies.
		The first evidence of intergalactic matter was discovered in the Sculptor group of galaxies in 1974, in intergalactic space between NGC 55 and NGC 300.

		NGC 55, an edge-on galaxy in the Sculptor Group
		NGC 55 is a member of the Sculptor group, where the galaxies are few in number and well separated in space.
		It is probably for this reason that NGC 55 is not rich in star forming regions, because it is not interacting with any nearby companion galaxy, unlike the LMC, which is stirred up by interactions with both the Milky Way and the Small Magellanic Cloud.

		Their conclusion was that the history of the Local Group is very complex and it is important to include accurate masses and distances of as many members of the Local Group as possible.
		Origin outside the Local Group could be true for Leo A but it would seem curious for IC 1613 which is in the close vicinity of Andromeda galaxy.
		The main difference between including the Sculptor group and leaving it out is therefore on its gravitational interaction with the Local Group dwarf galaxies.

		The first results of a thesis project to study the star formation histories of dwarf galaxies in the nearby Sculptor Group are presented.
		The first stage of this project involves determining the global current star-formation rates in these galaxies from H$\alpha$ imaging and their oxygen abundances from nebular spectroscopy.
		Distances were assigned based on known distances to other Sculptor Group galaxies, known H~I velocities, and the degree to which these galaxies resolved into stars in broad-band images.

		Dewart and his assistant, aided by a group of undergraduates, rolled the piece down the ramp and into place at the exact center of McKinlock Courtyard at Leverett House, where it seemed to command the space as though the architectural setting had been designed to receive it.
		The installation was the final step in a process that had begun during the summer when Yonatan Grad, a dual M.D./Ph.D. candidate, walked through the courtyard and realized that after four years as a resident tutor he was becoming inured to its gracious neoclassic beauty.
		He said that whether a sculpture works or not depends on whether the sculptor has been able to pour his or her life energy into the inanimate materials of which it is made.

		It had been suggested that these clouds might lie within the Sculptor Group, not the Local Group of which the Milky Way is a member.
		Instead, the clouds are probably shreds of a small satellite galaxy that has now been swallowed by the Milky Way, she said.
		Although this is the explanation the researchers favour, they also say the clouds lying towards the Sculptor Group might be the result of some kind of fountain of material from our Galaxy, or an interaction between the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds.
