Content
Characteristics
Galaxy in size only slightly inferior to the Milky Way . It has two dominant, clearly defined spiral arms and several deformed ones, the nature of which is possibly related to the interaction with neighboring galactic structures. Observations show [1] that NGC 5584 is saturated with regions where star formation processes occur.
On March 1, 2007, a flash of supernova SN 2007af belonging to type Ia was registered in the galaxy [2] .
