NGC 1428 is a peculiar galaxy [4] of an uncertain morphology; either an elliptical or lenticular galaxy [5] located approximately 65 million light-years away from Earth. [6]

Contents

It was discovered by astronomer Julius Schmidt on January 19, 1865. [7] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster. [8]

40 known globular clusters have been observed surrounding NGC 1428 [9] along with 23 observed planetary nebulae. [10]

Physical characteristics

NGC 1428 is host to a nuclear star cluster with an estimated mass ranging from 1.4 × 107 [11] to 2.2 × 107 M☉. [12] It is thought that this nuclear star cluster which surrounded by a nuclear stellar disk formed from multiple instances of gas acrecction and subsequent episodes of star formation. The presence of counter-rotating population of stars suggests the occurrence of mergers that occurred in the opposite direction of the rotation of NGC 1428. [11]

The galaxy has a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 4.1 × 107 M☉. [13]
