NGC 2599 is a large spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cancer. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 4,997±17 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 240.4 ± 16.9 Mly (73.70 ± 5.17 Mpc).[1] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 16 November 1784.[2][3]
NGC 2599 is a LINER galaxy, i.e. a galaxy whose nucleus has an emission spectrum characterized by broad lines of weakly ionized atoms.[4]
NGC 2599 is a galaxy whose nucleus shines brightly in the ultraviolet and is listed in the Markarian catalogue as Mrk 389.[5]
Supernova
One supernova has been observed in NGC 2599: SN 1965P (type unknown, mag. 15.7) was discovered by Howard S. Gates on 6 March 1965.[6][7]
