NGC 5529, UGC 9127, MCG +06-31-085, PGC 50942 [2] |
NGC 5529 is an edge-on intermediate spiral galaxy [2] in the constellation Boötes. It is located approximately 144 million light-years (44 megaparsecs) away and was discovered by William Herschel on May 1, 1785. [3]
NGC 5529 is an edge-on intermediate galaxy. It is located near dwarf galaxies PGC 50952, and PGC 50925.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been detected in the mid- infrared spectrum of NGC 5529. [4] PAHs have been shown to only appear in galaxies with recent star formation. [5]
