NGC 864 is a star-forming intermediate spiral galaxy located in the Cetus constellation. [1] It's also classified as an isolated galaxy on the AMIGA (Analysis of the Interstellar Medium of Isolated Galaxies) catalogue as CIG 96. [2]

Apr 2, 2025 · NGC 864 Galaxy (UGC 1736) Updated : 04/02/2025. NGC 864 is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus in the equatorial region. NGC 864's distance from Earth is 51,509,876.73 light years. NGC 864 is called NGC 864 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

NGC 864 is a Intermediate Spiral Galaxy in the Cetus constellation. NGC 864 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

Feb 26, 2014 · NGC 864 is a barred spiral galaxy in the direction of Cetus. It is estimated to be around 69 million light years away. As a morphological feature, bars in the centers of galaxies indicate a dynamic movement of gas (and stars).

Jun 30, 2005 · We present a HI synthesis imaging study of NGC 864 (CIG 96), a spiral galaxy well isolated from similarly sized companions, yet presenting an intriguing asymmetry in its integral HI spectrum.

This spiral galaxy is located 70 million light years away in the constellation of Cetus at a declination of +6 degrees. It is a magnitude 11 galaxy which spans 5 arc-minutes in our apparent view, corresponding to a diameter of about 100,000 light years. The mouseover shows a comparison to a mosaic of Hubble Space Telescope images.

Aug 7, 2012 · We present a study of the kinematics of the isolated spiral galaxy NGC 864, using H {\alpha} Fabry-Perot data obtained with the GH {\alpha}FaS instrument at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, complemented with images at 3.6 {\mu}m, in the R band and in H {\alpha} filter, and integral field spectroscopic data.

We present a study of the kinematics of the isolated spiral galaxy NGC 864, using Hα Fabry-Perot data obtained with the Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot System (GHαFaS) instrument at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, complemented with images at 3.6 μm, in the R band and in Hα filter, and integral-field spectroscopic data.

NGC 864 est une galaxie spirale intermédiaire située dans la constellation de la Baleine. Sa vitesse par rapport au fond diffus cosmologique est de 1 302 ± 18 km/s, ce qui correspond à une distance de Hubble de 19,2 ± 1,4 Mpc (∼62,6 millions d'al) [1]. NGC 864 a été découverte par l'astronome germano-britannique William Herschel en 1785.
