NGC 1396
Dwarf elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Fornax
NGC 1396 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy [ 4] located 61 million light years away[ 5] in the constellation of Fornax . The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Julius Schmidt on January 19, 1865,[ 6] and is a member of the Fornax Cluster .[ 7] Despite the fact that the galaxy PGC 13398 is most commonly identified as NGC 1396, there is uncertainty in its identification.[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
NGC 1396 is a satellite galaxy of NGC 1399 .[ 11]
232 known globular clusters have been observed surrounding NGC 1396,[ 2] along with a central nuclear star cluster with an estimated mass of 9.6 × 106 M ☉ .[ 12]
NGC 1396 has a metallicity of [Fe/H]∼ -0.4, with unusually overabundant values of [Ca/Fe] ∼+ 0.1, and underabundant sodium, with [Na/Fe] values around -0.1, while [Mg/Fe] is overabundant throughout the galaxy, increasing at a greater distance from the center of the galaxy. These abundance ratios compared with galaxies in the Local Group , show that the chemical enrichment history of the interstellar medium of NGC 1396 is similar to the galactic disc of the Milky Way . This implies that NGC 1396 originated as a progenitor galaxy the size of the Large Magellanic Cloud that lost its gas as it fell though the Fornax Cluster.[ 4]
