IC 1327 is lenticular galaxy of type S0-a,[1] located in the constellation Aquila. Its redshift is 0.032386,[2] which corresponds IC 1327 to be located 445 million light-years from Earth.[3] It has an apparent dimension of 0.90 x 0.8 arcmin, meaning the galaxy is 117,000 light-years across.[4] IC 1327 was discovered on August 10, 1890, by Sherburne Wesley Burnham.[5]

According to a study conducted in April 2006, IC 1327 is considered an isolated galaxy, which is included in early-type E-S0 galaxies that make up 14% of the isolated sample of galaxies in the local universe.[6] Moreover, IC 1327 contains X-ray emission within a distance of 100 arcsec from the infrared position, which its structure is inspected in overlays on optical images.[7]
