NGC 7619

NGC 7619 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Pegasus.^[2] NGC 7619 and NGC 7626^[3] are the dominant and brightest members of the Pegasus galaxy cluster.^[4] Both of them were discovered by William Herschel on September 26, 1785.^[5]

The radial velocity of this galaxy was measured in 1929 and found to be double that of any galaxy observed at that time.^[6] The measurement was consistent with the extrapolated value predicted by Edwin Hubble; a distance-velocity relation that would later become known as Hubble's law.^[7]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 7619: SN 1970J (type Ia, mag. 14.5) was discovered by Leonida Rosino on 24 September 1970.^[8][9]
