NGC 3608 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by William Herschel on March 14, 1784. [4] NGC 3608 is part of the Leo II Group of galaxies, including NGC 3605 and NGC 3607. It is approximately 13.0 billion years old.

NGC 3608 is an Active Galactic Nuclei/Nucleus located in the constellation of Leo in the northern hemisphere. NGC 3608's distance from Earth is 81,601,064.14 light years. NGC 3608 is called NGC 3608 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

2021年3月17日 · NGC 3607, a spiral galaxy and the group's brightest and member at magnitude 9.9 and 4.7′ across, forms a tight trio with NGC 3608 (magnitude 10.8, 3.2′ × 2.6′) and faint NGC 3605 (magnitude 12.3, 1.5′ × 1.0′) in a north-south line. A fourth member, NGC 3626 (magnitude 11.0, 2.7′ × 1.9′), lies 50′ to the northeast.

NGC 3607 exhibits an overabundance of red GCs on the galaxy minor axis and NGC 3608 shows a misalignment in the GC subpopulation position angles with respect to the galaxy stellar component. With the aid of literature data, we discuss several relationships between the properties of GC systems and their host galaxies.

2012年4月30日 · At first glance, NGC 3608 is an unremarkable galaxy. It is an elliptical galaxy, so it looks like a faint, fuzzy football with no discernible features other than its bright core. Yet evidence suggests the galaxy has undergone a fairly recent encounter with a …

2016年2月4日 · We present an investigation of the globular cluster (GC) systems of NGC 3607 and NGC 3608 as part of the ongoing SLUGGS survey. We use wide-field imaging data from the Subaru telescope in the g, r, and i filters to analyse the radial density, colour and azimuthal distributions of both GC systems.

2006年12月13日 · Abstract: The kinematics, structure, and stellar population properties in the centers of two brightest early-type galaxies of the Leo II group, NGC 3607 and NGC 3608, are studied by means of integral-field spectroscopy. The kinematically distinct areas in the centers of these galaxies, with radii of 6" and 5" respectively, are found also to be ...
