NGC 507, also known as Arp 229, CGCG 502-67, MCG 5-4-44, PGC 5098, UGC 938, and V V 207, [2] is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was described as being "very faint", "pretty large", "round", "brighter in the middle", and "south of NGC 508" by John Dreyer in the New General Catalogue. [1]

NGC 507 is a Elliptical/Spiral Galaxy in the Pisces constellation. NGC 507 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 13, NGC 507 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

The largest and brightest galaxy in the group, NGC 507 was discovered to have faint concentric shells by Halton Arp when looking at plates taken by the 200". He subsequently added it as Arp 299 in his catalogue of peculiar galaxies. These shells are now thought to be the product of ancient mergers.

2024年10月10日 · NGC 507 Galaxy Group - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: The NGC 507 region is rich with galaxies and quasars. The NGC 507 Galaxy Group is really just an informally named group (a Simbad entry) - as such, its members are not directly specified.

2022年1月12日 · Here, we present a detailed multi-frequency analysis of the nearby (z=0.01646) galaxy group NGC 507. In particular, we present new high-sensitivity and high spatial resolution radio images in the frequency range 144-675 MHz obtained using LOFAR and …

2024年10月10日 · NGC 507 is the brightest and largest galaxy in this image. This image shows most of the formally cataloged galaxy cluster [TKK2018] 477 (Temple Kruuse, Kipper - 2018). There are six other galaxy groups - in all of which, NGC 507 is listed as their 'brightest' member.

Located about 200 million light years away, NGC 507 is the central galaxy of the group that stretches in a chain diagonally from the upper left of the image toward the lower right. Another concentration of galaxies can be seen in the upper, central portion of the image, centered on the bright elliptical galaxy NGC 499.

The NGC 507 group, together with the NGC 383 group (sometimes called the Pisces Cloud) located three degrees to the west, anchors the southern end of the Perseus-Pisces supercluster, a vast group of galaxies stretching 40 degrees across the northern autumn sky.

This is a close up image of the informally 'named' NGC 507 Galaxy Group. NGC 507 is the brightest and largest galaxy in this image. This image shows most of the formally cataloged galaxy cluster [TKK2018] 477 (Temple Kruuse, Kipper - 2018).

Jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are known to recurrently enrich their surrounding medium with mildly relativistic particles and magnetic fields. Here, we present a detailed multi-frequency analysis of the nearby (z = 0.01646) galaxy group NGC 507.
