NGC 3745 is a lenticular galaxy with a bar structure [1] located in the constellation of Leo. [2] [3] NGC 3745 is located 471 million light-years away from the Solar System [4] and was discovered by Ralph Copeland on April 5, 1874, but also observed by Hermann Kobold, Lawrence Parsons and John Louis Emil Dreyer. [5]

Copeland Septet

NGC 3745 is a member of the Copeland Septet. [6] The other members of the group are NGC 3746, NGC 3748, NGC 3750, NGC 3751, NGC 3753 and NGC 3754. [7]

Halton Arp noticed the group when he published the article in 1966. [8] The group is designated as Arp 320 in which another galaxy PGC 36010, is part of it. [9]

This group was also observed by Paul Hickson, in which he included them inside his article in 1982. [10] This group is known as Hickson 57, in which NGC 3745 is designated as HCG 57G. [11]
