NGC 1448 is anunbarred spiral galaxy seen nearly edge-on in the constellationHorologium. It is at a distance of 55 millionlight years from Earth. It was discovered by British astronomerJohn Herschel on 24 October 1835.[2] Herschel observed the galaxy again on 14 December 1835, resulting in it being listed twice in theNew General Catalogue, as NGC 1448 and as NGC 1457.[2]
From the spectral analysis of SN 2001el, over a dozendiffuse interstellar bands were discovered in NGC 1448 – one of the few cases that these bands were observed outside of the Milky Way. However, the bands were significantly weaker at SN 2003hn.[3]
In January 2017 it was announced that evidence for asupermassive black hole in NGC 1448 had been found in the center of the galaxy.[4]
The galaxy belongs to theNGC 1433 group,[5] part of the Doradus cloud of galaxies.
