NGC 5829 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Boötes. It is 281 million light-years away from Earth and was discovered by astronomer, Edouard Stephan in May 1882.[2]

The luminosity class of NGC 5829 is III and it has an HI line with regions of ionized hydrogen.[3] With a surface brightness of only 14.42 magnitude, NGC 5829 can be classified as a low-surface brightness galaxy.[4]

NGC 5829 forms a galaxy pair Arp 42 with the irregular galaxy IC 4526.[5] Although interacting, the two are not close since IC 4526 is located at a much further distance at 665 million light-years compared to NGC 5829.[6]
