NGC 1427 is a low-luminosity elliptical galaxy^[5] located approximately 71 million light-years away from Earth.^[2] It was discovered by John Frederick William Herschel on November 28, 1837.^[6] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster.^[7]^[8] The galaxy has a stellar mass of 7.9 × 10¹⁰ M_☉, and a total mass of 9.4 × 10¹⁰ M_☉.^[4] However, the mass of the dark matter halo surrounding the galaxy is around 4.3 × 10¹² M_☉.^[9]
