NGC 2550A is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Camelopardalis. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3670 ± 10 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 176.5 ± 12.4 Mly (54.12 ± 3.79 Mpc).[1] The discovery of this galaxy is credited to Philip C. Keenan, in his paper Studies of Extra-Galactic Nebulae. Part I: Determination of Magnitudes, published in The Astrophysical Journal in 1935.[2]
According to A.M. Garcia, NGC 2550A is a member of the NGC 2523 galaxy group (also known as LGG 154).[3] This group contains five galaxies, including NGC 2441, NGC 2523, UGC 4041, and UGC 4199.
