NGC 1533

NGC 1533 is a barred lenticular galaxy with faint spiral structure in the constellation Dorado. The seventh-brightest member of the Dorado Group and 1°[3] off the group's center,[2] it is surrounded by a vast arc or ring of H I which is connected to IC 2038 and IC 2039.[2] The ring orbits around 32 kpc from the center.[3][b] As is typical of lenticular galaxies, star formation is weak in NGC 1533.[2] Using both the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) and globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF) methods, its distance was estimated in 2007 to be 19.4 ± 1.1 Mpc and 18.6 ± 2.0 Mpc respectively.[2] Averaging these together gives a distance of around 19 million parsecs or 62 million light-years from earth.[a] In 1970, a supernova was detected in NGC 1533.[4]

Notes
  1. ^ average(19.4 ± 1.1, 18.6 ± 2.0) = ((19.4 + 18.6) / 2) ± ((1.12 + 2.02)0.5 / 2) = 19.0 ± 1.1
  2. ^ 35 kpc calculated assuming a distance of 21 Mpc[3] converts to a distance of 32 (35 ÷ 21 × 19) kpc for the current distance estimate of 19 Mpc

gollark: But the exec is *important*.
gollark: What?
gollark: Look, vertical and consists of blocks, just like a blockchain.
