UGC 11397

UGC11397 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Lyra. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. However, three non-redshift measurements give a farther distance of. The first known reference to this galaxy comes from volume III of the Catalogue of Galaxies and of [Clusters of Galaxies] compiled by Fritz Zwicky in 1966, where it was listed as CGCG202-003.
UGC11397 is a Seyfert II Galaxy, i.e. it has a quasar-like nucleus with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable.
The center of UGC11397 harbors a supermassive black hole, with a mass of 174 million [Solar mass|].
