NGC 1106

NGC 1106 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 230 million light-years away in the constellation Perseus. It is classified as an SB0 galaxy, indicating it has a prominent central bulge and a disk structure, but lacks significant spiral arms. "SB" denotes a barred spiral (although the bar is typically weak or absent in S0 galaxies), and "0" designates a galaxy with a smooth disk and little to no recent star formation.

NGC 1106 is a member of the Perseus Cluster (Abell 426), a large and rich cluster of galaxies. Within the cluster, it interacts gravitationally with other galaxies. Studies of its redshift indicate its recessional velocity, a measure of how fast it's moving away from us due to the expansion of the universe.

The galaxy was discovered by William Herschel on October 21, 1786. Observations reveal a relatively smooth stellar population, consistent with its lenticular classification. It is not known to harbor an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Its apparent magnitude is approximately 13.0, making it a relatively faint object requiring a moderately sized telescope for observation.
