IC 5145 is a type Sab spiral galaxy [1] located in the constellation Pegasus. [2] [3] It is located 356 million light-years from the Solar System [4] and was discovered by Edward Emerson Barnard, although the year he discovered it is unknown. [5]
The luminosity class of IC 5145 is I-II and it has a broad H II region. [4] Its dimensions measure 1.60 x 0.9 arcmin. [6]
Six supernovae have been discovered in IC 5145 so far: SN 2002dn, SN 2003hy, SN 2010iq, PSN J21542359+1509224, SN 2020pkj, and SN 2022lfa.
SN 2002dn
SN 2002dn [7] was discovered in IC 5145 by astronomer W. D. Li from University of California at Berkeley via unfiltered KAIT CCD images taken on June 15 and June 17, 2002. [8] It was located 8".8 west and 18".3 north of the nucleus. [9] A further inspection done by A. V. Filippenko, R. Chornock and R. J. Foley, using the Shane 3-m reflector at Lick Observatory confirmed SN 2002dn was a Type Ic supernova which resembled SN 1987m. [8] [7]
SN 2003hy
SN 2003hy [10] was discovered by British amateur astronomer, Tom Boles from Coddenham, England on September 14, through unfiltered CCD images using a 0.35-m reflector as part of the course done by U.K. Nova/Supernova Patrol. [11] Surprising, SN 2003hy was also discovered by another amateur astronomer, Mark Armstrong who saw it on the same unfiltered CCD images and via a 0.35m reflector. [11] It had a magnitude of 16.6 [10] and was located 5".5 west and 12".5 north of the nucleus. [12] The supernova was Type IIn. [10]
A 14-minute exposure of SN 2003hy taken on December 28, 2003, shows it is much dimmer than 19.4 magnitude, which the dimmest stars are magnitude 20. [13]
SN 2010iq
Lick Observatory Supernova Search discovered SN 2010iq on October 11, 2010. [14] It was reported by A. Narla, S. B. Cenko, W. Li and A. V. Filippenko from University of California, Berkeley through unfiltered CCD images. [15] It was located 2".8 east and 4".4 south of the nucleus with a magnitude of 18.2. [14] This supernova was Type Ic. [14]
PSN J21542359+1509224
PSN J21542359+1509224 was discovered on 13 May 2014 by Bin Wang and Xing Gao. [16] It was located 5".3 east and 0".9 south of the nucleus with a magnitude of 18.3. This supernova had an unknown type. [16]
SN 2020pkj
SN 2020pkj (type Ia, mag. 19.2) was discovered on 15 July 2020 by ZTF. [17]
SN 2022lfa
SN 2022lfa [18] was discovered on May 28, 2022, by Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) through Palomar 1.2m Oschin telescope on the behalf of K. De from Caltech. [19] On June 28, 2022, astronomers confirmed that SN 2022lfa is a Type Ic supernova via a spectrum obtained on MJD 59755.43 using the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory. [20]
NGC 3184, the Little Pinwheel Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. Its name comes from its resemblance to the Pinwheel Galaxy. It was discovered on 18 March 1787 by German-British astronomer William Herschel. It has two HII regions named NGC 3180 and NGC 3181.
NGC 2207 and IC 2163 are a pair of colliding spiral galaxies about 80 million light-years away in the constellation Canis Major. Both galaxies were discovered by John Herschel in 1835.
NGC 1282 is an elliptical galaxy located about 230 million light-years away in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 23, 1884. NGC 1282 is a member of the Perseus Cluster.
NGC 4076 is a spiral galaxy located 290 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785 and is a member of the NGC 4065 Group.
NGC 5910 is an elliptical galaxy located about 540 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. It was discovered by astronomer William Hershel on April 13, 1785. NGC 5910 is also a strong radio source with a conspicuous nuclear jet.
SN 2022jli is a Type Ic supernova discovered in 2022 in the spiral galaxy NGC 157 at a distance of about 23 Mpc. The light curve of the supernova exhibited oscillations that are interpreted as an interaction of a companion star of the star that exploded with a compact object, probably a neutron star or a black hole.

NGC 6122 is not known to have much star-formation, and does not have an active galactic nucleus.
NGC 7828 is a peculiar galaxy in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy lies about 300 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 7828 is approximately 75,000 light years across. It was discovered by American astronomer Francis Leavenworth in 1886. NGC 7828 forms a pair with its neighbor NGC 7829.
