NGC 1060is alenticular galaxyapproximately256 millionlight-yearsaway from Earth in theconstellationofTriangulum.[1]It was discovered byWilliam Herschelon September 12, 1784.[3]
NGC 1060 is the brightest member of thegalaxy groupLGG 72,which contains approximately 15 galaxies.[4][5] Intergalactic medium (IGM)in this system is highly disturbed, with separate X-ray peaks centred on the two main galaxies of the group, NGC 1060 andNGC 1066.[4] A ~250 kpc arc of hot gas is linking these two galaxies.[4] The system appears to be undergoing amerger,which may have triggered the nuclear activity in NGC 1060.[4][5]
In 2013 a small-scale (20” /7.4 kpc)jet sourcewas detected in NGC 1060, indicating a remnant of an old, low power outburst.[4]The radio emission which arises from this jet was also detected.[6][5]
NGC 1060 is anactive galaxy,with confirmedactive galactic nucleus (AGN).[6]
Supernova SN 2004fd
[edit]Supernova SN 2004fd of magnitude 15.70 was detected in NGC 1060 on October 22, 2004.[7]It was discovered byTom Boleswho was using 0.35mSchmidt-Cassegrain telescopeduring searches for the UK Nova/Supernova Patrol.[7]The supernova was classified as type Ia, and was located very close to the nucleus of its host galaxy (the J2000 epoch celestial coordinates: RA 02h 43m 15.20s, Dec +32° 25′ 26.00″).[8][1]
