'''NGC 37''' is a [[lenticular galaxy]] located in the [[Phoenix (constellation)|Phoenix]] constellation. It is approximately 42 [[kiloparsecs]] (137,000 [[light-years]]) in diameter and about 12.9 [[billion]] years old.<ref name="NED" />
It may have a companion galaxy called '''PGC 95382'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SIMBAD references |url=http://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-ref |access-date=2022-08-29 |website=simbad.cds.unistra.fr}}</ref> Its redshift and radial velocity (z=0.03007 & V=8880 km/s) are really similar so it can be situated quite close to NGC 37.
== Group membership ==
NGC 37 is a member of '''SCG2 0009-5713''',<ref>{{Cite web |title=SCG2 0009-5713 |url=http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id |access-date=2022-08-29 |website=simbad.u-strasbg.fr}}</ref> a compact galaxy group. Its other members are '''PGC 128413''', a spiral galaxy, '''PGC 128414''', a lenticular galaxy similar to NGC 37 and PGC 95382. The galaxy group's redshift is probably around 0.031000 because most of its members have a similar value.[[File:NGC 0037 DSS.jpg|thumb|left|NGC 37 by [[Digitized Sky Survey|DSS]]]]
