NGC 1827
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features the edge-on, intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 1827. Its rusty-brown dust lanes bisect the galaxy lengthwise. Look for distant galaxies that dot the black background, while a smattering of foreground stars are easily identified by their diffraction spikes.

NGC 1827 is an edge-on intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Columba. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1,062±2 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 51.1 ± 3.6 Mly (15.66 ± 1.10 Mpc).[1] However, five non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 37.44 ± 1.97 Mly (11.480 ± 0.604 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 28 November 1837.[4]

NGC 1827 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.[5][6]

NGC 1808 group

[edit]

NGC 1827 is member of the NGC 1808 galaxy group (also known as LGG 127). This group contains 14 galaxies, including NGC 1792, NGC 1808, ESO 305-9 [d], ESO 305-17 [d], ESO 362-11 [d], and ESO 362-19 [d].[3][7][8]
