NGC 1052

(elliptical galaxy with ultra diffuse dwarf satellites)

NGC 1052 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus that includes an active galactic nucleus (AGN). It is the central galaxy of the galaxy group, NGC 1052 Group, which includes ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) including NGC 1052-DF2 (aka LEDA 3097693) and NGC 1052-DF4, both of which are of interest as among the few galaxies that appear to include little or no dark matter, and are often referred to as merely DF2 and DF4.
