NGC 1015 is a barred spiral galaxy, at a distance of 118 million light years in the constellation of Cetus (The Whale). It was discovered by German astronomer Wilhelm Tempel on 27 December 1875. Emissions from the core region satisfy the criteria for an active galactic nucleus of type 2 Seyfert and a LINER galaxy.

Supernova

One supernova has been observed in NGC 1015. SN 2009ig (Type Ia, mag. 17.5) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) on 20 August 2009. It got as bright as magnitude 13, making it the brightest supernova of 2009.
