NGC 1832 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Lepus. The galaxy lies about 80 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 1832 is approximately 55,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on February 4, 1785.{{cite web |last1=Seligman |first1=Courtney |title=NGC 1832 (= PGC 16906) |url=https://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc18.htm#1832 |website=Celestial Atlas |access-date=19 November 2018}}
Characteristics
The galaxy has a bright nucleus. The bar has bright ansae at its ends{{cite journal |last1=Eskridge |first1=Paul B. |last2=Frogel |first2=Jay A. |last3=Pogge |first3=Richard W. |last4=Quillen |first4=Alice C. |last5=Berlind |first5=Andreas A. |last6=Davies |first6=Roger L. |last7=DePoy |first7=D.

The arms form a nearly complete inner ring at the end of the bar.Sandage, A., Bedke, J. (1994), The Carnegie Atlas of Galaxies. Volume I, Carnegie Institution of Washington The ring has a radius of 13 arcseconds and has an estimated star formation rate of 0.70 ± 0.20 {{solar mass}}.{{cite journal |last1=Grouchy |first1=R.

There is also Hα emission from the nucleus not between the nucleus and the inner ring.{{cite journal |last1=Crocker |first1=Deborah A. |last2=Baugus |first2=Pamela D. |last3=Buta |first3=R. |title=The Distribution and Properties of H II Regions in Early-to-Intermediate Hubble Type Ringed Galaxies |journal=The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series |date=August 1996 |volume=105 |pages=353 |doi=10.1086/192318|bibcode=1996ApJS..105..353C }} The west arm appears diffuse and resembles more like narrow spiral arm fragments. The east arm is better defined. Both arms complete less than half of revolution before fading. There are many HII regions along both arms, the largest of which are more than two arcseconds across. The star formation doesn't appear to be due to a leading density wave causing a pressure shock to the arms of the galaxy.{{cite journal |last1=Beckman |first1=J.

NGC 1832 is the foremost galaxy of the NGC 1832 Group,{{cite journal|last1=Makarov|first1=Dmitry|last2=Karachentsev|first2=Igor|title=Galaxy groups and clouds in the local (z~ 0.01) Universe|journal=Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society|date=21 April 2011|volume=412|issue=4|pages=2498–2520|doi=10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.18071.x|doi-access=free |bibcode=2011MNRAS.412.2498M|arxiv=1011.6277|s2cid=119194025}} also known as LGG 129.
