NGC 5719 is an intermediate or barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is located at a distance of 94 million light years from Earth.[1] It was first discovered by William Herschel in April 1787, but also observed by John Herschel in April 1828 and by George Phillips Bond in March 1853, who catalogued the object as NGC 5658 under the New General Catalogue.[2]
The luminosity class of NGC 5719 is I-II and it has a broad HI line. Additionally, it is a narrow line active galaxy (NLAGN).[1] In far infrared (40-400 ɥm), the luminosity of NGC 5719 is 1.70 x 1010 Lʘ (1010.23 Lʘ) while its total luminosity in infrared (from the 8-1000 ɥm range) is 2.24 x 10 Lʘ (1010.35 Lʘ).[3]
