NGC 1106 is a lenticular, non-barred spiral galaxy with considerable structure (type SA0^+), located in the Perseus constellation. [1] [2] It was first observed by astronomer John Herschel in 1828. [3]
In 2016, astronomers confirmed NGC 1106 contains a Compton-thick [4] active galactic nucleus, after extensive analysis of the galaxy's X-ray spectra. [5] Due to the AGN in its center, it's also classified as a type II Seyfert galaxy, meaning it has the characteristic bright core of a Seyfert galaxy, as well as appearing bright when viewed at infrared wavelengths.
A study released in 2022 detected active star formation in NGC 1106. [6] The research involved the use of far-ultraviolet and mid-infrared analysis, both techniques are extensively used as star formation rate tracers. [7]
