MCG+01-38-004, MCG+01-38-005, IRAS 14483+0519, KPG 437, PSCz Q14483+0519, UGC 9554 |
NGC 5765, also designated as MCG+01-38-004 and MCG+01-38-005, [1] is a pair of interacting megamasers in the constellation Virgo, [2] roughly 400,000,000 light-years (120,000,000 pc) away from Earth. [3] NGC 5765B is active, and energy is released from the core, some of which is absorbed by a nearby cloud of water. The cloud then re-emits this energy as microwaves. [4] These emissions were used to help redefine the Hubble constant. [5]
