Infobox for articles on galaxies.

redshift
The redshift parameter (z) can either list the radial velocity of the galaxy in units of km/s, or the dimensionless quantity z. The former is used when the value of z has a very small value, such as less than 0.1.

dist_ly
The dist_ly field can list the distance in both light years and parsecs by using the Convert template. For example:   gives: 2810 +/-
 * identifies the dimensionless Hubble parameter used in the distance measurement. Using NED's default value of 0.73,.
 * if distance is left in 'units' of h.
