The M96 Group (also known as the Leo I Group) is a group of galaxies in the constellation Leo. This group contains between 8 and 24 galaxies, including three Messier objects.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] It also contains the Leo Ring. The group is one of many groups that lies within the Virgo Supercluster (the combined Local Group and Virgo cluster).^[7]

Members

The table below lists galaxies that have been consistently identified as group members in the Nearby Galaxies Catalog,^[5] the survey of Fouque et al.,^[6] the Lyons Groups of Galaxies (LGG) Catalog,^[3] and the three group lists created from the Nearby Optical Galaxy sample of Giuricin et al.^[4]

Nearby groups

The Leo Triplet, which includes the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628,^[3]^[4]^[5] is located physically near the M96 Group.^[10] Some group identification algorithms actually identify the Leo Triplet at part of the M96 Group.^[4]^[6] The two groups may actually be separate parts of a much larger group.^[10]
