NGC 1404
NGC 1404 is an elliptical galaxy in the Southern constellation Fornax.〔 It lies at a distance of 65 million light years from the Milky Way and it is one of the brightest members of the Fornax Cluster. ==Characteristics==
As usual with most elliptical galaxies, NGC 1404 is rich in globular clusters, with a population of them that has been estimated to be around 725; however it has been proposed it could have lost most of its globular clusters due to gravitational interactions with NGC 1399, the brightest galaxy of the Fornax Cluster. Studies with the help of the X-Ray telescope Chandra show too how ram-pressure stripping caused by the motion of NGC 1404 through Fornax' intracluster medium is stripping this galaxy it of its hot gas, leaving behind a large trail.〔http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2004/fornax/ Fornax Cluster: Motions of Nearby Galaxy Cluster Reveal Presence of Hidden Superstructure〕
