The New General Catalogue object NGC 48 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 79.3 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Andromeda.
NGC 6984 is a barred spiral galaxy located 180 million light years away in the constellation Indus. It is a Type II Seyfert galaxy, a type of Active galactic nucleus (AGN). It is situated south of the celestial equator, and is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches or more. It was discovered on 8 July 1834 by British astronomer John Herschel.
NGC 2441 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis. A Type Ia supernova, SN1995E, occurred in NGC 2441, and observations suggest it may display a light echo, where light from the supernova is reflected from matter along our line of sight, making it appear to "echo" outwards from the source. The diameter of the galaxy is about 130,000 light-years.
NGC 6090 is a merging pair of spiral galaxies, 400 million light-years from the Earth, in the constellation of Draco. The cores of the two galaxies are around 10,000 light-years apart from each other, meaning that the merger is likely at its intermediate stage. Two large "tails", made of galactic material gravitationally ejected during the merger, have formed outside the main galaxies. Newly formed stars can be seen in the overlapping area.
NGC 6239 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Hercules with a distinct core. It is designated as SB(s)B in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the German-born British astronomer William Herschel on 12 April 1788. The galaxy is approximately 42 million light years away from Earth.
NGC 7014 is an elliptical galaxy located about 210 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Indus. NGC 7014 was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on October 2, 1834. A population of around 1,634 known globular clusters surround the galaxy, and it is also host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 2.6 × 109M☉. NGC 7014 is also classified as a type 1 seyfert galaxy.
NGC 7033 is a lenticular galaxy located about 390 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus. It is part of a pair of galaxies that contains the nearby galaxy NGC 7034. NGC 7033 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on September 17, 1863.
NGC 5910 is an elliptical galaxy located about 540 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. It was discovered by astronomer William Hershel on April 13, 1785. NGC 5910 is also a strong radio source with a conspicuous nuclear jet.
NGC 4326 is a barred spiral galaxy with a ring located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1784, who described it as "vF, S, R, bM, 1st of 3". It is a large galaxy, with a diameter of around 200,000 ly (61 kpc) making it nearly twice the size of the Milky Way. NGC 4326 is also classified as a LINER galaxy. Despite being listed in the Virgo Cluster catalog as VCC 623, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster but instead a background galaxy.
NGC 4333 is a barred spiral galaxy with a ring structure located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1784, who described it as "F, pS, R, bM, 2nd of 3". NGC 4333 is also classified as a LINER galaxy. Despite being listed in the Virgo Cluster catalog as VCC 637, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster but instead a background galaxy.
NGC 4015 is a lenticular galaxy in the Coma Berenices. It is located between 215 and 220 million light years away. Its visual magnitude is 13.15.
NGC 5790 is a lenticular galaxy located 541 million light-years away in the Boötes constellation. It was discovered on 16 May 1884 by French astronomer Édouard Stephan. The galaxy is approximately 180,000 light-years across. NGC 5790 is a type 2 Seyfert galaxy according to the SIMBAD database.
NGC 2606 is a spiral galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. It lies 648 million light-years away from our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The galaxy was first discovered by John Herschel, a British astronomer on 16th February 1831. According to SIMBAD database, it is classified as a LINER galaxy and a Seyfert type 2 galaxy by Hyperleda.
NGC 5539 is a large lenticular galaxy in the Boötes constellation. It is located 857 million light-years away and was discovered by John Herschel on 24th April, 1830. According to Herschel, he found it quite large and irregular. NGC 5539 is about 273,000 light-years in diameter, meaning it is much larger compared to the Milky Way and its neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 1890.
NGC 2688 is a spiral galaxy located in Ursa Major. It is located 758 million light-years away from the Solar System and is moving away at a speed of 15,190 km/s. NGC 2688 was found by R.J. Mitchell who was an Irish astronomer and assistant to William Parsons. When Mitchell first saw the object, he commented it as very small and faint. According to Professor Seligman, the galaxy is classified as a lenticular galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy.
NGC 5008 is a massive barred spiral galaxy located in the Boötes constellation.
NGC 6261 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Hercules. It is located 470 million light-years away from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 200,000 light-years.
NGC 3978 is a large intermediate spiral galaxy with a bar located in the constellation of Ursa Major. It is located 460 million light-years away from the Solar System and was discovered by William Herschel on March 19, 1790, but also observed by John Herschel on April 14, 1831.
NGC 3177 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Leo. Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 1,627 ± 22 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 24.0 ± 1.7 Mpc. NGC 3177 was discovered by the German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1784.
NGC 6646 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Lyra. Its velocity relative to the cosmic microwave background is 5,641 ± 35 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 83.2 ± 5.9 Mpc. NGC 6646 was discovered by the German-British astronomer William Herschel on 26 June 1802. The luminosity class of NGC 6646 is I.
