NGC 2775, also known as Caldwell 48, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cancer. It is 67 million light-years (20.5 megaparsecs) [3] away from the Milky Way. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1783. NGC 2775 belongs to the Antlia- Hydra Cluster [9] of galaxies and is the most prominent member of the NGC 2775 Group, a small galaxy group in the Virgo Super-cluster, along with the Local Group. Other members of the NGC 2775 Group include NGC 2777 and UGC 4781. [10]

This object has a morphological classification of SA(r)ab, [6] which indicates an unbarred spiral galaxy (SA) with a prominent ring structure (r) and flocculent, [11] tightly wound spiral arms (ab). [12] The galaxy is inclined by an angle of 44° to the line of sight from the Earth. [6] The galactic nucleus is not active [2] and the large nuclear bulge, which extends out to an angular radius of 0.4′, [12] is relatively gas free. [11] An explanation for the latter could be a high supernova rate. [6] Although star formation is taking place in the dusty outer ring, [12] NGC 2775 does not display any current starburst activity, [13] and the galactic nucleus is virtually free of any star formation whatsoever. [11]

The galaxy's hydrogen tail feature indicates a past interaction with a faint companion. [6] A satellite galaxy appears to have orbited NGC 2775 multiple times, losing mass as it does so and creating faint, shell-like structures. [12] Nearby irregular galaxy NGC 2777 displays a tidal tail of hydrogen gas that points back to NGC 2775, suggesting the two may be linked. [14]

SN1993z is the only supernova known to have occurred in NGC 2775. It was detected on September 23, 1993, at a magnitude of 13.9, and was classified as a Type Ia supernova. [15] By September 25, spectral analysis showed that it had peaked four weeks earlier. [16]
