3C 305, also known as IC 1065, is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Draco. [3] [1] The galaxy is located 577 million light-years away from Earth. [2] It has an active galactic nucleus and is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy. [1] [2] This galaxy was discovered by American astronomer Lewis Swift when he came upon it on April 7th, 1888. [4]

3C 305 is also a radio galaxy. [5] [6] It shows an extended X-ray halo previously detected by Chandra X-ray and Very Large Array observations and hydrogen outflow with a jet power of ∼1043 erg s-1. [7]

In additional, 3C 305 shows broad HI absorption levels, which researchers interpreted it as jet-cloud interaction. [8] There are also signs that 3C 305 might be involved in a recent merger process with another gas-rich galaxy. [9]

One supernova has been observed in the galaxy so far: SN 2003jb, (type Ia, mag. 16.5), discovered in December 2003. [10] [11]

Centaurus A is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. It was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from his home in Parramatta, in New South Wales, Australia. There is considerable debate in the literature regarding the galaxy's fundamental properties such as its Hubble type and distance. It is the closest radio galaxy to Earth, as well as the closest BL Lac object, so its active galactic nucleus has been extensively studied by professional astronomers. The galaxy is also the fifth-brightest in the sky, making it an ideal amateur astronomy target. It is only visible from the southern hemisphere and low northern latitudes.
