NGC 2441

NGC 2441 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3492 ± 2km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. In addition, 16 non-redshift measurements give a distance of. The galaxy was discovered by German astronomer Wilhelm Tempel on 8 August 1882.
According to A.M. Garcia, NGC 2441 is a member of the NGC 2523 galaxy group. This group contains five galaxies, including NGC 2523, NGC 2550A, UGC 4041, and UGC 4199.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 2441. SN1995E was discovered by Alessandro Gabrielcic on 20 February 1995, and observations suggested it may display a light echo, where light from the supernova is reflected from matter along our line of sight, making it appear to "echo" outwards from the source.
