NGC 5683is a type S0-alenticular galaxywith a bar[1]located in theBoötes constellation.[2]It is 513 millionlight-yearsaway from theSolar System[3]and has an approximatediameterof 256,000 light-years meaning it is larger compared to theMilky Way.[3]NGC 5683 was discovered byGeorge Johnstone Stoneyon April 13, 1850.[4]
NGC 5683 happens to lie near to a spiral galaxyNGC 5682,but they are far apart from each other. Nearby is another galaxyNGC 5689.[5]
Characteristics
[edit]NGC 5683 has anactive galactic nucleuswhich presents strong x-rays.[6]It is aSeyfert1 type galaxy[7][8]and such falls into theMarkarian catalogueas Mrk 474, which its core shines inultraviolet rays.[9]The most accepted theory for this energy source of active galactic nuclei is the presence of anaccretion diskaround itssupermassive black hole.It also shows high amounts of strong emission-lines which are mostly attributed to short-lived star formation in its regions likely restricted to a nuclear disk with its radius less than few hundred parsecs.[10]
Supernova
[edit]Type la supernovaSN 2002db[11]was discovered on May 18, 2002, in NGC 5683 by a collaboration ofastronomersandReiki Kushidafrom LOTOSS (Lick Observatory and Tenagra Observatory Supernova Searches).[12]It was positioned 8 arcsecs west and 9 arcsecs north of the nucleus, with amagnitudeof 17.6.[13]
