NGC 753 is a spiral galaxy[1] located 220 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Andromeda. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer by Heinrich d'Arrest on September 16, 1865[3] and is a member of Abell 262.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
NGC 753 has roughly 2-3 times more mass than the Milky Way[4] and is classified as a radio galaxy.[10][11][12]
Physical characteristics
[edit]NGC 753 contains two main arms that extend to 180° on either side of the galaxy.[13][14] From the two main arms, there are three larger and weaker arms that sub-divide into several branches.[13] This open structure of the arms may be due to the influence of NGC 759 which is a close companion of NGC 753[13][14] that lies 1.4 Mly (0.44 Mpc) away.[14]
Supermassive black hole
[edit]NGC 753 has a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of (2.2 ± 0.4) × 107 M☉.[15]
Supernovae
[edit]NGC 753 has hosted two supernovae:[16]
