NGC5374 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 4,612±19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 221.9 ± 15.6 Mly (68.02 ± 4.77 Mpc).[1] Additionally, seven non-redshift measurements give a similar mean distance of 224.16 ± 13.31 Mly (68.729 ± 4.081 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 12 May 1793.[3][4]
NGC 5374 is a is a radio galaxy, i.e. it has giant regions of radio emission extending well beyond its visible structure.[5]
NGC 5374 group
[edit]According to A. M. Garcia, NGC 5374 is the namesake of a group of galaxies. The NGC 5374 group (also known as LGG 368) contains at least eight galaxies, including NGC 5382 [fr], NGC 5384, NGC 5386 [fr], NGC 5417 [fr], NGC 5418 [fr], NGC 5434 [fr], and UGC 8906 [d].[6]
Supernovae
[edit]Three supernovae have been observed in NGC 5374:
- SN2003bl (TypeII, mag. 18.4) was discovered by LOTOSS (Lick Observatory and Tenagra Observatory Supernova Searches) on 2 March 2003.[7][8]
- SN2010do (TypeIc, mag. 17.2) was discovered by Berto Monard [it] on 2 June 2010.[9][10]
- SN2016P (Type Ic-BL, mag. 16) was discovered by Grzegorz Duszanowicz and Michal Zolnowski on 19 January 2016.[11]
