NGC 1363 is a peculiar barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Eridanus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 9,416±37 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 453.0 ± 31.8 Mly (138.88 ± 9.75 Mpc).^[1] It was discovered by American astronomer Sherburne Wesley Burnham on 31 December 1877.^[2]

NGC 1363 is a Seyfert I galaxy, i.e. it has a quasar-like nucleus with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable.^[3]^[4]

Supernovae

Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 1363:

SN 2022ackv (Type Ia, mag. 17.476) was discovered by ATLAS on 7 December 2022.^[5]
SN 2025xaz (Type Ia, mag. 18.63) was discovered by GOTO on 7 September 2025.^[6]
