NGC 7329 is a large barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Tucana. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3,148±8 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 151.4 ± 10.6 Mly (46.43 ± 3.25 Mpc).[1] Additionally, 29 non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 145.67 ± 3.35 Mly (44.662 ± 1.028 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 20 July 1835.[4]
The luminosity class of NGC 7329 is II and it has a broad HI line.
Supernovae
[edit]Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 7329:
- SN 2006bh (Type Ia, mag. 14.8) was discovered by South African amateur astronomer Berto Monard, in Pretoria, on 2 April 2006.[5][6]
- SN 2009iu (Type Ib, mag. 15.5) was discovered on 1 September 2009 by the CHASE (Chilean Automatic Supernova Search) project, a project searching for supernovae visible from astronomical observatories in the southern hemisphere.[7][8]
