NGC 1532

Constellation: Eridanus

NGC 1532 (a.k.a Haley’s Coronet) is an edge-on barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Eridanus. It is located about 58 million Ly away. NGC 1532 may have several dwarf companion galaxies. The galaxy is clearly interacting with one of these galaxies, the amorphous dwarf galaxy NGC 1531. The tidal forces from this interaction have created unusual plumes above the disk of NGC 1532. NGC 1532 is also an outlying member of the Fornax Cluster. Link to interactive sky chart.
