NGC 5584 is a barred spiral galaxy[8] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered July 27, 1881 by American astronomer E. E. Barnard.[10] Distance determination using Cepheid variable measurements gives an estimate of 75 million light years,[6] whereas the tip of the red-giant branch approach yields a distance of 73.4 million light years.[7] It is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1,637 km/s.[4] It is a member of the Virgo III Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out to the east of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.[11]

The morphological class of NGC 5584 is SAB(rs)cd,[8] which indicates this spiral galaxy has an inner bar (SAB), an incomplete inner ring structure (rs), and loosely wound spiral arms (cd). It is flocculent in appearance with only a small nucleus. Star formation is occurring along the spiral arms.[8] The galactic plane is inclined at an angle of 42.4° to the line of sight from the Earth,[7] and it spans more than 50,000 light-years across.[12] 250 Cepheid variables have been observed in NGC 5584.[1]

Supernovae

[edit]

Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 5584:

  • SN 1996aq (Type Ic, mag. 15.7) was discovered by Masakatsu Aoki on 17 August 1996.[13][14] It was offset by 15 west and 8″ south of the galactic center. It reached magnitude 14.7 on August 18.
  • SN 2007af (type Ia, mag. 15.4) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 24 February 2007, located at an offset 40″ west and 22″ of the galaxy's center.[15][16][17] A light echo of this event was observed about 1,000 days after its discovery.[18]
