NGC 7828is apeculiar galaxyin the constellationCetus.The galaxy lies about 300 millionlight yearsaway from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 7828 is approximately 75,000 light years across.[1]It was discovered by American astronomerFrancis Leavenworthin 1886.[3]NGC 7828 forms a pair with its neighborNGC 7829.The galaxy is included inHalton Arp'sAtlas of Peculiar Galaxiesin the elliptical galaxies emanating material category as Arp 144.

NGC 7828 is interacting with NGC 7829, lying about 30 arcseconds from its nucleus. The interaction of the two galaxies, which have similar mass, has led to the creation of an empty ring in NGC 7828. The nucleus of NGC 7828 is obscured in visual light, but it is more visible in the infrared.[4]The ring appears to be partial inH- Alpha.Thestar formationrate of the ring galaxy is estimated to be 6.86Mper year.[5]The two galaxies are surrounded by a neutral hydrogen gas cloud extending to the southeast for 6 arcminutes and 3 arcminutes to the west.[6]

Twosupernovaehave been observed in NGC 7828, AT2018ewx and SN 2021ocs.[7]SN 2021ocs was atype Ic supernovadiscovered around maximum magnitude. Its spectrum was unusual, being dominated byoxygenandmagnesiumemission lines.[8]It was discovered on May 30, 2021, by theATLAS[9](Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) astronomical survey and had anapparent magnitudeof 17.7.[10]
