NGC 1097 is a spiral galaxy (Type SB(s)b), about 53 mio. light years away. The galaxy is located in the southern constellation Fornax. There are four optical jets that appear to emanate from the nucleus, which consists of stars. These jets are the remains of a dwarf galaxy, which was cannibalized by NGC 1097. The galaxy also has two satellite galaxies, named NGC 1097A and 1097B.
