NGC 1052-DF2 is an ultra diffuse galaxy in the constellation Cetus, which was identified in a wide-field imaging survey of the NGC 1052 group by the Dragonfly Telephoto Array. It has been proposed that the galaxy contains little or no dark matter, the first such discovery. On March 20, 2019, a follow-up study announcing the discovery of a second UDG lacking dark matter, DF4, was published confirming this.

[3]

The distance to the galaxy from Earth, derived by surface brightness fluctuation, is 19 1.7 Mpc. Due to close proximity, it is assumed to be associated with the elliptical galaxy NGC 1052 and to lie at a distance of about {{val|80|u=Kpc}} from NGC 1052.[4][5][6][7].

The apparent lack of dark matter in NGC 1052-DF2 may help prove that dark matter is real: if what appears to be dark matter is really just a currently unknown effect of the gravity of ordinary matter then this apparent dark matter should also appear in this galaxy. Further study will be needed before this and any other possible implications can be confirmed.[8][9] If confirmed, the absence of dark matter may also have implications for theories of galaxy formation, as dark matter has been thought to be needed for galaxy formation.[9]

A later study purports to show that the galaxy may contain more dark matter than initially reported. It may have a mass-to-light ratio towards the low end of expected values for a dwarf galaxy. [18] However, a follow-up study on March 20, 2018 and a new discovery of a second UDG, NGC 1052-DF4, also apparently lacking dark matter challenge this study's conclusion.[10]

[https://www.sciencealert.com/a-second-galaxy-has-been-found-without-any-dark-matter-ironically-supporting-its-existence Same as NGC 1052-DF2, Astronomers discovered a second Galaxy with No Dark Matter]. NGC 1052-DF4, is an ultra-diffuse galaxy - quite large, spread-out, and faint to observe. Discovering another galaxy with very little to no dark matter means the chances of finding more of these galaxies are now higher than cosmologists previously thought.

"This invisible, mysterious substance is the most dominant aspect of any galaxy. So finding a galaxy without it is unexpected. It challenges the standard ideas of how we think galaxies work, and it shows that dark matter is real: it has its own separate existence apart from other components of galaxies. This result also suggests that there may be more than one way to form a galaxy."}}
