NGC 1427 is a low-luminosity elliptical galaxy [5] located approximately 71 million light-years away from Earth. [2] It was discovered by John Frederick William Herschel on November 28, 1837. [6] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster. [7] [8] The galaxy has a stellar mass of 7.9 × 10 10 M ☉, and a total mass of 9.4 × 10 10 M ☉. [4]

NGC 1427A, also known as ESO 358-49 [3], or ESO 358- G 049 [4], is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Fornax. Its distance modulus has been estimated using the globular cluster luminosity function to be 31.01 ± 0.21 which is about 52 Mly. [2]

2005年3月3日 · The irregular galaxy NGC 1427A is a spectacular example of the resulting stellar rumble. Under the gravitational grasp of a large gang of galaxies, called the Fornax cluster, the small bluish galaxy is plunging headlong into the group at 600 kilometers per second or nearly 400 miles per second.

2022年3月29日 · We report the discovery of ancient massive merger events in the early-type galaxies NGC 1380 and NGC 1427, members of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Both galaxies have been observed by the MUSE IFU instrument on the VLT, as part of the Fornax3D project.

Over 20,000 light-years long and similar to the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud, NGC 1427A is speeding through the Fornax cluster's intergalactic gas at around 600 kilometers per second. The resulting pressure is giving the galaxy its arrowhead outline and triggering the beautiful but violent episodes of star formation.

NGC 1427A is an Irregular Galaxy located in the constellation of Eridanus in the equatorial region. NGC 1427A's distance from Earth is 50,000,000.00 light years. NGC 1427A is called NGC 1427 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).
