NGC 2535 is anunbarred spiral galaxy in theconstellationCancer. It was discovered on 22 January 1877 byFrench astronomerÉdouard Stephan.[2]
NGC 2535 is exhibiting a weak inner ring structure around the nucleus that isinteracting withNGC 2536. The interaction has warped the disk and spiral arms of NGC 2535, producing an elongated structure, visible at ultraviolet wavelengths, that contain many bright, recently formed bluestar clusters in addition to enhancedstar forming regions around the galaxy center. The two galaxies are listed together asArp 82 in theAtlas of Peculiar Galaxies as an example of a spiral galaxy with a high surface brightness companion.[3]
Onesupernova has been observed in NGC 2535. SN 1901A (type unknown, mag. 14.7)[4][5] was seen byKarl Reinmuth on a photographic plate taken on 10 January 1901, although the discovery was not made until 28 September 1923.[6][7]
