NGC 2787 is a barred lenticular galaxy approximately 24[3] million light-years away in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. It was discovered on December 3, 1788 by German-born astronomer William Herschel. J. L. E. Dreyer described it as, "bright, pretty large, a little extended 90°, much brighter middle, mottled but not resolved, very small (faint) star involved to the southeast".[9] The visible galaxy has an angular size of 2′.5 × 1′.5[7] and an apparent visual magnitude of 11.8.[4]

This galaxy is small and isolated[5] with a morphological classification of SB(r)0+,[6] which indicates a barred spiral (SB) with a ring around the bar (r). Being a lenticular galaxy, it has the large halo of an elliptical galaxy. The disk is inclined at an angle of 58°±3° to the line of sight from the Earth, with the major axis aligned along a position angle of 110°±3°.[5] The galaxy has an unusually high mass-to-light ratio, much greater than for a typical spiral galaxy.[5] The distribution of the galaxy's neutral hydrogen forms a clumpy ring with a radius of 10.3 kpc, double that of the visible galaxy, with a mass of 5.5×108 M☉.[5] This ring appears misaligned with the central disk.[10]

NGC 2787 contains a low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) at its core, which is a type of region that is characterized by its spectral line emission from weakly ionized atoms.[11] LINERs are very common within lenticular galaxies, with approximately one-fifth of nearby lenticular galaxies containing LINERs.[12] The supermassive black hole at the center has a mass of 4.1+0.4
−0.5×107 M☉.[13] The central region of the galaxy contains dust rings that are tilted with respect to the disk, which may be the result of an encounter with another galaxy.[10]

NGC 2787 ist eine Linsenförmige Galaxie vom Hubble-Typ SB0-a im Sternbild Größer Bär am Nordsternhimmel, die etwa 36 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt ist. Der typische Balken einer Balkenspiralgalaxie ist bei NGC 2787 im Visuellen nicht zu sehen. Im Kern dieser Galaxie vermuten Wissenschaftler ein supermassereiches Schwarzes Loch. Die im Bild vom Hubble Space Telescope sichtbaren, um ein Dutzend weißen Punkte sind keine Sterne, sondern Kugelsternhaufen mit hunderttausenden von Sternen, die von der Gravitation von NGC 2787 festgehalten werden und diese umrunden.
