NGC 3449 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Antlia. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3,609±17 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 173.6 ± 12.2 Mly (53.23 ± 3.74 Mpc).[1] However, 20 non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 151.97 ± 3.98 Mly (46.595 ± 1.221 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 29 April 1834.[3][4]
NGC 3449 group
NGC 3449 is the namesake of a trio of galaxies called the NGC 3449 group (also known as LGG 222). The other two galaxies are ESO 437- G 067 and ESO 437- G 065.
Supernovae
Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 3449:
- SN 2012bu (Type II-P, mag. 18.4) was discovered by Stan Howerton and the Siding Spring Survey on 16 January 2012.[5][6]
- ASASSN-15aj (Type Ia, mag. 15.0) was discovered by ASAS-SN on 8 January 2015.[7][8]
