2017年1月4日 · NGC 1404 is a bright elliptical galaxy that is being gas stripped as it falls through the ICM of the Fornax Cluster. We use the new Chandra X-ray observations of NGC 1404 to study ICM microphysics. The interstellar medium of NGC 1404 is characterized by a sharp leading edge, 8 kpc from the Galaxy center, and a short downstream gaseous tail.

This Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows the elliptical galaxy NGC 1404 in the Fornax galaxy cluster. The middle of the galaxy is near the bottom of the image and the X-ray source at the center of the image is the possible progenitor of the Type Ia supernova, SN 2007on.

2019年9月4日 · The right panel shows a SWIFT image, obtained with the optical/UV monitor, of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1404. At the center of the image is the supernova SN 2007on, originally discovered by the 0.25-m robotic telescope TAROT at La Silla in November, 2007.

NGC 1404 is a typical Elliptical Galaxy in the Fornax Cluster of Galaxies. Its distance is about 50 million lightyears. The fuzzy dot towards the upper left of NGC 1404 is a dwarf galaxy also belonging to the Fornax Cluster. In contrast to spiral galaxies like NGC 6946, no young bluish stellar component is visible.

2020年1月22日 · I report the discovery of a transient broad-H point source in the outskirts of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1404, discovered in archival observations taken with the MUSE integral field spectrograph.
