A lenticular galaxy (denoted S0) is a type of galaxy intermediate between an elliptical (denoted E) and a spiral galaxy in galaxy morphological classification schemes. [1] It contains a large-scale disc but does not have large-scale spiral arms.
Messier 84 or M84, also known as NGC 4374, is a giant elliptical or lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo. Charles Messier discovered the object in 1781 [a] in a systematic search for "nebulous objects" in the night sky. [7] It is the 84th object in the Messier Catalogue and in the heavily populated core of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies ...
Messier 85 (also known as M85 or NGC 4382 or PGC 40515 or ISD 0135852) is a lenticular galaxy, or elliptical galaxy for other authors, in the Coma Berenices constellation.It is 60 million light-years away, and has a diameter of about 36.99 kiloparsecs (120,600 light-years) across.
UGC 968, PGC 5222 [1] NGC 524 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is at a distance of about 90 million light-years away from Earth. In the central bulge of the galaxy is visible gas forming a spiral structure. [2] It is the largest galaxy in the small NGC 524 group of galaxies, which is associated with NGC 488 and its group. [3]
Messier 86. Messier 86 (also known as M86 or NGC 4406) is an elliptical or lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1781. M86 lies in the heart of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and forms a most conspicuous group with another large galaxy known as Messier 84. It displays the highest blue shift of all ...
SA0 − [2] Size. 166,900 ly (51,160 pc) [2] Apparent size (V) 2.2 ′ × 2.002 ′ [2] Other designations. UGC 203, MCG +04-02-004, PGC 1351 [4] NGC 80 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It is interacting with NGC 47 and NGC 68, and is the brightest cluster galaxy of the NGC 80 group, a galaxy group named after it.
NGC 1316 (also known as Fornax A) is a lenticular galaxy about 60 million light-years (18.4 million parsecs) away in the constellation Fornax. It is a radio galaxy and at 1400 MHz is the fourth-brightest radio source in the sky. [5]
NGC 2768 by Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 2768 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation of Ursa Major. It is at a distance of 65 million light years from Earth. NGC 2768 is an example of a Seyfert galaxy, an object with a supermassive black hole at its centre. A dusty structure is encircling the centre of the galaxy, forming a knotted ...
