This image shows that lenticular galaxies may retain a considerable amount of dust in their disk. However, there is little to no gas, and thus they are considered deficient in interstellar matter . A lenticular galaxy (denoted S0) is a type of galaxy intermediate between an elliptical (denoted E) and a spiral galaxy in galaxy morphological ...
NGC 1546 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Dorado. The galaxy lies about 55 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 1546 is approximately 60,000 light years across. [1] It was discovered by John Herschel on December 5, 1834. [3] It is a member of the Dorado Group. [4]
NGC 1023, also known as the Perseus Lenticular Galaxy, [3] is a barred lenticular galaxy, a member of the NGC 1023 group of galaxies in the Local Supercluster. Distance measurements vary from 9.3 to 19.7 million parsecs (30 to 64 million light-years). [1] The supermassive black hole at the core has a mass of (4.4 ± 0.5) × 10 7 M ☉. [4]
NGC 1277 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Perseus. It is a member of the Perseus Cluster of galaxies and is located approximately 73 Mpc (megaparsecs) [2] or 220 million light-years from the Milky Way. It has an apparent magnitude of about 14.7. It was discovered on December 4, 1875 by Lawrence Parsons, 4th Earl of Rosse.
NGC 1543 is a barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Reticulum. The galaxy lies about 55 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 1543 is approximately 100,000 light years across. [1] It was discovered by James Dunlop on November 5, 1826. [3] It is a member of the Dorado Group.
NGC 3106 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Leo Minor. The galaxy lies about 290 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3106 is approximately 100,000 light years across. [1] It was discovered by William Herschel on March 13, 1785. [3]
NGC 2685 (also known as the Helix Galaxy) is a lenticular and polar ring Seyfert Type 2 galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major.Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1003 ± 9 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 48.2 ± 3.4 Mly (14.79 ± 1.05 Mpc). [1]
Messier 85 (also known as M85 or NGC 4382 or PGC 40515 or ISD 0135852) is a lenticular galaxy, or elliptical galaxy for other authors, [4] in the Coma Berenices constellation. It is 60 million light-years away, and has a diameter of about 36.99 kiloparsecs (120,600 light-years) across. [1] [5] Pierre Méchain discovered M85 in 1781.
