Galaxy in the constellation Andromeda
NGC 753 is aspiral galaxy [ 1] located 220 millionlight-years away[ 2] in theconstellation Andromeda . The galaxy was discovered by astronomer byHeinrich d'Arrest on September 16, 1865[ 3] and is a member ofAbell 262 .[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
NGC 753 has roughly 2-3 times more mass than theMilky Way [ 4] and is classified as aradio 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 ofNGC 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 asupermassive black hole with an estimated mass of (2.2 ± 0.4) × 107 M☉ .[ 15]
NGC 753 has hosted twosupernovae :[ 16]
SN 1954E (type unknown, mag. 18.5) was discovered byFritz Zwicky on 26 September 1954.[ 17] [ 18] [ 16] [ 19] SN 2025mbr (Type Ia , mag. 17.3695) was discovered by theAutomatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) on 25 May 2025.[ 20] ^a b c d e f g h i j "Results for object NGC 0753" .NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database .NASA andCaltech .
