Encyclopedic overview
NGC 735 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Triangulum. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 4374 ± 18 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 210.4 ± 14.7 Mly (64.52 ± 4.52 Mpc). In addition, eight non redshift measurements give a distance of 227.21 ± 7.99 Mly (69.662 ± 2.449 Mpc). The galaxy was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 September 1784.
NGC 735 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.
