NGC 7808 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Cetus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 8521 ± 24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 125.67 ± 8.80 Mpc (~410 million light-years).[1] It was discovered by American astronomer Frank Muller in 1886.[2]
NGC 7808 is an active Seyfert I galaxy.[1][3]
One supernova has been observed in NGC 7808: SN 2023qnz (Type Ia, mag. 20.14) was discovered by Pan-STARRS on 22 August 2023.[4]
Star-forming ring
NGC 7808 contains an outer star-forming ring, observed in ultraviolet rays. According to a 2019 study, the star formation is only above one solar mass per year. It is expected to decrease overtime. Nevertheless, star-forming rings like in NGC 7808 still contain enigmatic features and can help astronomers to learn more about the evolutionary processes taken by these galaxies.[5]
