Distances to five resolved galaxies in the Canes Venatici cloud

We present results of CCD imaging in B, V of five late-type galaxies with radial velocities $V_0 <$ 350 km/s in the Canes Venatici cloud. Based on the photometry of their brightest blue stars we derived the following distances to the galaxies: 9.7 Mpc for NGC 4144, 4.5 Mpc for NGC 4244, 4.2 Mpc f...

Summary:We present results of CCD imaging in B, V of five late-type galaxies with radial velocities $V_0 <$ 350 km/s in the Canes Venatici cloud. Based on the photometry of their brightest blue stars we derived the following distances to the galaxies: 9.7 Mpc for NGC 4144, 4.5 Mpc for NGC 4244, 4.2 Mpc for NGC 4395, 2.9 Mpc for NGC 4449, and 8.2 Mpc for UGC 8331.
