IC 1262 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation of Hercules. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.032[1] and it was first discovered by the American astronomer, Lewis Swift in June 1890, who described it as a 14th magnitude galaxy.[3] it is the brightest cluster galaxy of a small galaxy group named after it, with at least 31 members and such is classified as a type cD galaxy.[4][5][6]

Description

IC 1262 is categorized as an early-type galaxy.[4][7] When observed it is found to have a presence of an arc-feature located east suggested as a recent galaxy merger, with a high surface brightness and such also classified to be a bright source of radio emission. There is also a region area that is located northwards from the arc-feature which it is further separated into other regions, namely the high and low surface brightness region.[8] The star formation of this galaxy has found to be only around 4.35 x 10-2 Mʘ per year.[9] It is also found offset from its X-ray peak.[10]

The nucleus of the galaxy is active and it has been classified as a radio galaxy with an ultra steep radio spectrum. When observed, it has two extended radio lobes located in both north and south directions, with measured spectral indexes of -2.23 and -19.4. The flux density of the northern lobe at 325 MHz is estimated to be 341.2 ± 0.25 mJy whereas the southern radio lobe at 325 MHz is estimated to be around 855.1 ± 0.25 mJy. There is also presence of radio emission that found extending by more than 200 kiloparsecs over a wide area. Two inner X-ray cavities have been located north and south from the galaxy's center, with further confirmation of a much larger X-ray cavity on the outer side.[9][11]

A filamentary structure has been detected in IC 1262. When observed, the feature is shown to have a sharp and narrow appearance and running from north to south direction. A loop feature is also found north of IC 1262 with a measured length of 20 kiloparsecs.[5] Evidence also found the galaxy is surrounded by a halo of hot gas with a symmetric and smooth appearance.[12]
