NGC 25 is a barred lenticular galaxy situated in the Phoenix constellation. It was discovered on 28 October 1834 by John Herschel. It is the brightest cluster galaxy for Abell cluster 2731. [2] A supernova was discovered in NGC 25 on 15 November 2020. [3] [4] NGC 25 with DECam
English: Artist impression of galaxy at the center of the Phoenix Cluster. Powerful radio jets from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy are creating giant radio bubbles (blue) in the ionized gas surrounding the galaxy.
BB Phoenicis is a variable star in the constellation of Phoenix. It has an average visual apparent magnitude of 6.17, [3] being visible to the naked eye with excellent viewing conditions. From parallax measurements by the Gaia spacecraft, it is located at a distance of 448 light-years (137 parsecs) from Earth. [2] Its absolute magnitude is ...
NGC 31 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on October 28, 1834 by the astronomer John Herschel. [5] Its morphological type is SB(rs)cd, meaning that it is a late-type barred spiral galaxy. [3] NGC 31 and surrounding galaxies
SX Phoenicis is a variable star in the southern constellation Phoenix. With an apparent visual magnitude ranging around 7.33, [7] it is too faint to be readily seen with the naked eye and requires binoculars. [11] It is located 272 light years from the Sun, as determined from an annual parallax shift of 12 mas. [2]
Robert's Quartet is a compact galaxy group approximately 160 million light-years away in the constellation Phoenix.It is a family of four very different galaxies whose proximity to each other has caused the creation of about 200 star-forming regions and pulled out a stream of gas and dust 100,000 light years long.
