NGC 1023
NGC 1023 is a barred lenticular galaxy, a member of the NGC 1023 group of galaxies in the Local Supercluster. Distance measurements vary from 9.3 to 19.7 million parsecs (30 to 64 million light-years).[1] The supermassive black hole at the core has a mass of (4.4±0.5)×107 M☉.[2] The black hole was discovered by analyzing the dynamics of the galaxy.[3]
