UGC 711 is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus. Estimated to be located 77 million light-years from Earth, the galaxy's luminosity class is IV and it has a HI line width region. It belongs to the equatorial region of Eridanus Void with an arcsec approximation of ≈ 250.

Morphology

UGC 711 is considered a low-surface brightness galaxy (LSB) with a diffuse stellar disk.

With a surface brightness measurement found ~1 magnitude less illuminated compared to μ _B,0 = 21.65 mag arcsec according to K.C. Freeman, UGC 711 is one of best studied superthin galaxies defined by its atypical classification when seen edge-on. It has a flat structure with only a diameter estimating to be a = 40 arcsecs but has a major-to-minor axis ratio wider than 7 arcsecs.

The rotational velocity of UGC 711 is said to be only V_circ = 92 km s according to measurements from Hyperleda.
