I would like to know why this object is classified as a Markarian galaxy when it is a globular cluster? Can one of the scientists explain what is going on?

My opinion is that when Mr. Markarian compiled his list of Markarian galaxies, some other objects slipped into his list, because of observing qualities. Nothing sinister going on ! 😄
