Notes.

The columns report the name of the object, the coordinates (RA and Dec), the type, and the heliocentric velocity (de Vaucouleurs et al. 1991). The ellipticity (e) and position angle (PA) were estimated by Lauberts & Valentijn (1989). The distance (d) of NGC 4709 was estimated by Mieske et al. (2005) using the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method, whereas that of NGC 4696 was estimated by Federle et al. (2024) using the globular cluster luminosity function.
