}}NGC 3642 is a spiral galaxy in constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy has a low-ionization nuclear emission-line region. It is located at a distance of circa 30 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3642 is about 50,000 light years across. The galaxy is characterised by an outer pseudoring, which was probably formed after the accretion of gas rich dwarf galaxy.[2]

Structure

NGC 3642 is a spiral galaxy without bar.[2] In the nucleus there is a supermassive black hole with estimated mass 26-31 millions M⊙, based on the intrinsic velocity dispersion as measured by the Hubble Space Telescope,[3] or 15 millions M⊙, based on the bulge luminosities in near-infrared Ks-band.[4]

Around the nucleus, an one-armed spiral forms a ring, and it is possible that it leads material towards the nucleus. The nucleus surrounded by an inner flocculent spiral. The outer part of the spiral forms a pseudoring that extents for about half a circle. The outer part of the spiral is warped, while its main part features an ordinary differentially rotating disk. The HI gas is also warped and extents more in the western side.[2]

Nearby galaxies

The galaxy belongs in NGC 3642 group[5] (also known as NGC 3610 group), a galaxy group that also includes NGC 3610, NGC 3619, NGC 3669, NGC 3674 and NGC 3683. Other nearby galaxies include NGC 3440, NGC 3445, NGC 3458, NGC 3543 and NGC 3613.[6]
