NGC 5793

NGC 5793 is an active spiral galaxy located approximately 150 million light years away in the constellation Libra. It is classified as a seyfert galaxy and was discovered by Francis Leavenworth in 1886.
In 2014, the Hubble Space Telescope examined and photographed NGC 5793.
Seyfert galaxies such as NGC 5793 are known to house megamasers, these megamasers are capable of having a luminosity of thousands of times greater than the Sun.
Neutral hydrogen has been detected against the galactic nucleus. This means that NGC 5793 has an estimated HI cloud size of ≈15 pc and an estimated atomic gas density size of ≈200 cm -3.
