Notes. The celestial coordinates and morphology are taken from NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED). The distance D with the corresponding scale is taken from Verstappen et al. (2013), which was found to be the average value of the redshift-independent distance measurements (mostly based on Tully-Fisher relation). The apparent magnitude mV, semi-major and semi-minor axes are measured for the isophote of 25 mag/arcsec2. The absolute magnitude MV corresponds to the adopted distance D and apparent magnitude mV, corrected for Galactic extinction according to Schlafly & Finkbeiner (2011). The inclination of the galaxy was derived from radiative transfer modelling (see Sect. 4.2).
