NGC 7626


NGC 7626 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered on September 26, 1785, by the German-British astronomer William Herschel.
The galaxy lies at a distance of approximately 160 million light-years from the Milky Way, based on its redshift. NGC 7626 is classified as a normal elliptical galaxy and is a prominent member of the Pegasus I Group, a small galaxy group dominated by early-type galaxies.
NGC 7626 has been studied in multiple wavelengths, including optical and X-ray observations, which indicate the presence of hot gas typical of massive elliptical galaxies in group environments.
The galaxy is listed in several major astronomical catalogues, including the New General Catalogue, the Uppsala General Catalogue, and the Principal Galaxies Catalogue.
