NGC 37 is a lenticular galaxy located in the Phoenix constellation. It is approximately 42 kiloparsecs (137,000 light-years) in diameter and about 12.9 billion years old.
It may have a companion galaxy called PGC 95382. 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, 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.
