NGC 1511 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Hydrus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1341 ± 5 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 19.76 ± 1.39 Mpc (∼64 million light-years).[1] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 2 November 1834.
Morphology
[edit]Eskridge, Frogel, and Pogge published a paper in 2002 describing the morphology of 205 closely spaced spiral or lenticular galaxies. The observations were made in the H-band of the infrared and in the B-band (blue). Eskridge and colleagues described NGC 1511 as:
Nearly edge-on. SW side of bulge is hidden by a prominent dust band, indicating that the bulge is small. Inner SE spiral arm has several very bright star-forming knots. Arms do not appear very extended (may be due to foreshortening), but there is an extended, featureless LSB [Low Surface Brightness] disk beyond the arms.[2]
Supernova
[edit]One supernova has been observed in NGC 1511: SN 1935C (type unknown, mag. 12.5).[3] The supernova was discovered by Emily Hughes Boyce on 16 August 1935, and was initially thought to be either a supernova, or a nova associated with the Large Magellanic Cloud. It was classified as a nova, and known as either HV 11970 or Nova Hydri 1935. In September 1988, Sidney Van Den Bergh and Martha L. Hazen concluded definitively that the object was a supernova in NGC 1511, and the star was given the designation SN 1935C.[4][5]
NGC 1511 Group
[edit]According to A.M. Garcia, the galaxy NGC 1511 is the central member of the NGC 1511 group (also known as LGG 107) that includes NGC 1473 and NGC 1511A .[6]
