Encyclopedic overview

NGC 1570, mistakenly called NGC 1571, is a faint galaxy located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. It has a blue magnitude of 13.2, making it visible through a medium sized telescope. Based on a redshift of z = 0.014760, the object is estimated to be 198 million light years (60.9 megaparsecs) away from the Local Group. It appears to be receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4,392 km/s.

NGC 1570 has a galaxy morphological classification of S0, indicating that it is a lenticular galaxy. It has also been catalogued as a peculiar elliptical galaxy. The central black hole has a mass 297 times that of the Sun. It is estimated to be 8.9 billion years old, younger than the Milky Way. The average iron abundance of the galaxy is 135% that of the Sun's. NGC 1570 is said to be round in shape, making it more likely to be an elliptical galaxy.
