IC 184 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.0179[1] and it was first discovered by the American astronomer Ormond Stone in October 1887 who gave the description of the object as both faint and small.[3] It has also been classified as a Type 2 Seyfert galaxy.[4][5][6]

Description

IC 184 is classified as an early-type spiral galaxy of type SB(r)a based on Calar Alto CCD imaging and is a member of small galaxy group comprising three other galaxies, MCG -01-06-09, MCG -01-06-020 and MCG -01-06-022.[7][4] When observed, it is shown to have an outer bar feature that is clearly resolved into multiple spiral arms, depicted as having a bright appearance.[8] The central region of the galaxy is found to have isophotal twisting and also the rotation of its position angle (PA). There is a presence of an inner bar that has a region shown as visible as a thick curved elongated feature that begins at the end. The northern spiral arm of the galaxy is found to be much more brighter compared to the southern spiral arm.[9] There are also traces of both inner and outer shell features based on imaging made with Hubble Space Telescope (HST).[10]

Evidence has found IC 184 is an isolated galaxy. When observed, it has a galaxy rotation curve that is orientated along the major axis position angle of 7° and 97°, with the rotation of both the gas and stars being described as decoupled with 4 arcseconds of its own galactic center. A further observation also found the presence of a structure within the innermost region of nine arcseconds, depicted as having a wavy central shape appearance.[11] A water megamaser source has been detected in the galaxy.[12] The luminosity of the megamaser emission is estimated to be 1.0 Lʘ.[13]
