NGC 625 is a dwarf barred spiral galaxy about 12.7 Mly away in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on 2 September 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop.[3] NGC 625 is a member of the Sculptor Group.[4]
NGC 625 has an active galactic nucleus, i.e. a compact region at the center that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.[5]
