NGC 1532

NGC 1532是一个侧面面对地球的棒旋星系，天球上位于波江座。 在该星系中曾发现超新星SN 1981A。

棒状结构

NGC 1532是多个侧面面对地球的其中一个螺旋星系，并且有一个盒状核球。这表示该星系的核球其实有棒状结构。正面面对地球的棒旋星系可以很容易看到棒状结构。但如果是跟NGC 1532一样测面面对地球的棒旋星系，则需要谨慎分析以分辨核球与棒状结构。

伴星系与交互作用

NGC 1532可能和数个附近的矮星系有交互作用。而该星系明显和另一个不规则矮星系NGC 1531有重力交互作用。两者之间的潮汐力使NGC 1532盘面上产生了不寻常的柱状云气.。

NGC 1532也是天炉座星系团的外围成员星系。

NGC 1532, also known as Haley's Coronet, is an edge-on barred spiral galaxy located approximately 58 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Eridanus. The galaxy was discovered by James Dunlop on 29 October 1826.

Bar

NGC 1532 is one of many edge-on spiral galaxies that possesses a box-shaped bulge. This is an indication that the bulge is actually a bar. Such bars are easy to detect in face-on galaxies, where the structures can be identified visually. In inclined galaxies such as this one, however, careful analyses are needed to distinguish between bulges and bar structures.

Companion galaxies and interactions

NGC 1532 may possess 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.

Supernovae

Three supernovae have been observed in NGC 1532:

• SN 1981A (Type II, mag. 13.5) was discovered by Robert Evans on 24 February 1981.
• SN 2016iae (Type Ic, mag. 17.32) was discovered by ATLAS on 7 November 2016.
• SN 2016ija (Type II, mag. 16.5) was discovered by the Distance Less Than 40 Mpc Survey (DLT40) on 22 November 2016.
