NGC 2787 is a barred lenticular galaxy approximately 24 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. In 1999, the Hubble Space Telescope took a look at NGC 2787.
LINER emission
NGC 2787 contains a low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER), a type of region that is characterized by spectral line emission from weakly ionized atoms.[3] LINERs are very common within lenticular galaxies, approximately one-fifth of nearby lenticular galaxies contain LINERs.[4]
