NGC 213 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on October 14, 1784, by William Herschel.[2]
According to the SIMBAD database, NGC 213 is an Active Galaxy Nucleus Candidate, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.[3]
One supernova has been observed in NGC 213: SN 2020bqm (type Ia, mag. 18.4).[4]
