IC 5332

Summary

IC 5332, also known as PGC 71775 is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Sculptor. IC 5332 is a delicate spiral galaxy that is unusually faint and beautifully symmetrical. As viewed from earth it is nearly face on. It has a very small central bulge and open spiral arms accounting for its classification (SABc). The galaxy lies in the direction of the galactic south pole.[1]

IC 5332 is a late type spiral galaxy with observable star formation ongoing, though at such a low rate as to be a stable non-starburst galaxy.[4] It is a somewhat tenuous spiral galaxy with a very low surface brightness of just 23.8 mag/squ arc sec.
