NGC 3953 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy is known to exhibit an inner ring structure that encircles the bar. NGC 3953 is a member of the M109 Group, a large group of galaxies located within the constellation Ursa Major that may contain over 50 galaxies. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Two supernovae have been identified within NGC 3953: [1] the type Ia supernova SN 2001dp [6] and SN 2006bp. [7]
