NGC 1106

NGC 1106 is a lenticular, non-barred spiral galaxy with considerable structure (type SA0^+), located in the Perseus constellation. It was first observed by astronomer John Herschel in 1828.

Characteristics
In 2016, astronomers confirmed NGC 1106 contains a Compton-thick active galactic nucleus, after extensive analysis of the galaxy's X-ray spectra. Due to the AGN in its center, it's also classified as a type II Seyfert galaxy, meaning it has the characteristic bright core of a Seyfert galaxy, as well as appearing bright when viewed at infrared wavelengths.

Star formation
A study released in 2022 detected active star formation in NGC 1106. The research involved the use of far-ultraviolet and mid-infrared analysis, both techniques are extensively used as star formation rate tracers.
