NGC 37 is a lenticular galaxy located in the Phoenix constellation. It is approximately 42 kiloparsecs (137,000 light-years) in diameter and about 12.9 billion years old. [1]

Contents

It may have a companion galaxy called PGC 95382. [2] Its redshift and radial velocity (z=0.03007 & V=8880 km/s) are really similar so it can be situated quite close to NGC 37.

Group membership

NGC 37 is a member of SCG2 0009-5713, [3] a compact galaxy group. Its other members are PGC 128413, a spiral galaxy, PGC 128414, a lenticular galaxy similar to NGC 37 and PGC 95382. The galaxy group's redshift is probably around 0.031000 because most of its members have a similar value.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NGC 4598</span> Galaxy in the constellation Virgo

NGC 4598 is a barred lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. NGC 4598 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 15, 1784. The distance to NGC 4598 has not been accurately determined; measurements vary from 64 to 102 million light-years. According to the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database, its redshift based distance is 102 Mly (31.3 Mpc) while its redshift independent based distance is 88.71 Mly (27.200 Mpc). Also, according to SIMBAD, its distance is 63.7 Mly (19.54 Mpc). NGC 4598's average distance is 84.8 Mly (26.0 Mpc). NGC 4598 is usually considered to be a member of the Virgo Cluster. However, P.
