NGC 7154 is a peculiar barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 2,356±18 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 105.3 ± 7.5 Mly (32.3 ± 2.3 Mpc).[1] However, eight non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 89.29 ± 16.04 Mly (27.375 ± 4.918 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 23 September 1834.[3]
NGC 7154 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.[4][5]
IC 5156 group
[edit]NGC 7154 is a member of the IC 5156 group (also known as LGG 450[6]). This group contains 14 galaxies, including NGC 7163, NGC 7172, NGC 7173, NGC 7174, NGC 7176, NGC 7187, IC 5156, and six galaxies from the ESO catalogue.[7][8]
