IC 2759 is a small type E elliptical galaxy located in the constellation of Leo. It is located 350 million light-years away from the Solar System and was discovered on April 24, 1897, by Guillaume Bigourdan. Sometimes IC 2759 is confused with the spiral galaxy, PGC 34882 which is located south of the galaxy.

One supernova has been discovered in IC 2759 so far: SN 2020lyo.

SN 2020lyo

SN 2020lyo was discovered in IC 2759 by astronomer, Dr. David Bersier on 8 June 2020 from All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). via a Liverpool Telescope. It was 0".5 west and 0".0 south of the nucleus and located at redshift of 0.027. The supernova was Type Ia.
