NGC 45 is a low surface brightness[7] spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It was discovered on 11 November 1835 by the English astronomer John Herschel.[9] The galaxy is located at a distance of 22[4] million light years and is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 466 km/s.[3] It is located in the vicinity of the Sculptor Group, but is most likely a background galaxy.[7]

The morphological class of NGC 45 is SA(s)dm,[6] indicating this is a spiral galaxy with no prominent inner bar (SA) or ring (s) feature. There is no central bulge to speak of.[7] The galactic plane is inclined at an angle of 55°±5° to the line of sight from the Earth, with the major axis of the elliptical profile being aligned along a position angle of 145°±5°.[7] Star formation is proceeding at a modest rate of ~0.20 M☉·yr−1.[6]

Unlike the Milky Way, NGC 45 has no clearly defined spiral arms, and its center bar nucleus is also very small and distorted. NGC 45 thus does not have a galactic habitable zone.[10][11][12] For the Milky Way, the galactic habitable zone is commonly believed to be an annulus with an outer radius of about 10 kiloparsecs and an inner radius close to the Galactic Center, both of which lack hard boundaries.[11]

On May 22, 2018, a luminous red nova was detected within NGC 45 and was subsequently labeled AT 2018bwo. Luminous red novae like this are thought to be the result of stars merging. The progenitor of AT 2018bwo was a yellow supergiant star.[13]

[de] NGC 45

NGC 45 ist eine Balkenspiralgalaxie vom Hubble-Typ SBd im Sternbild Walfisch südlich des Himmelsäquators. Sie ist schätzungsweise 22 Mio. Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt und hat einen Scheibendurchmesser von etwa 74.000 Lj.[4] Die Galaxie hat eine scheinbare visuelle Helligkeit von +10,7 mag und eine Winkelausdehnung von 8,5' × 5,9'. Aus unserer Erdsicht steht NGC 45 in der Nähe verschiedener Galaxien des Sculptor-Filaments, dem es folglich zugerechnet wurde. Die im Vergleich zu den übrigen Galaxien dieser Gruppe stark abweichende Relativgeschwindigkeit deutet jedoch eher darauf hin, dass die Galaxie nicht zur Sculptor-Gruppe gehört, sondern von der Erde aus gesehen hinter dieser liegt.
