Abstract

The spectrum analysis of the nebula designated in the New General Catalog with number 1501 (NGC1501) was performed, using the Image Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF) software as an analysis tool, with which several treatments were carried out to the spectrum of the object aforementioned. The reference star used for the NGC1501 spectrum calibration is G191B2B. As a final result, data on some of the elements present in the nebula, an estimation of the quantity of interstellar dust in the line of sight Earth-nebula, electronic density of the nebula and electronic temperature of the gas that makes up the nebula were obtained.
