In some galactic catalogues, NGC 6051 and IC 4588 have been listed as the same object.{{cite simbad | title=IC 4588 | access-date=2019-06-27 }} However, O'Sullivan and associates (2011) have them as separate entities, with NGC 6051 being the central dominant galaxy of a cluster.{{cite journal | title=A deep Chandra observation of the poor cluster AWM 4 - II.
