NGC 1110

NGC 1110, also known as MCG -03-08-027 and IRAS 02465-1052, is a spiral galaxy located approximately 450 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. It is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy, meaning it possesses an active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is partially obscured, emitting strong emission lines of ionized gas.

The galaxy displays evidence of ongoing star formation activity, potentially triggered by interactions with other galaxies in its vicinity or through internal processes. The central region hosts a supermassive black hole, characteristic of Seyfert galaxies, which accretes matter and releases tremendous amounts of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Observations of NGC 1110 have been conducted using various telescopes and instruments, contributing to our understanding of the structure, composition, and dynamics of this distant spiral galaxy and Seyfert galaxies in general. Further research continues to investigate the nature of its active nucleus, the mechanisms driving star formation, and its relationship to other galaxies in its environment.
