IC 2560 is a spiral galaxy lying over 110 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Antlia. It has a distinct bar structure in the center. The supermassive black hole at the core has a mass of 4.4+4.4
−2.2×106 M☉.[3]
One supernova, SN 2020ejm (type Ia, mag. 16), was discovered in IC 2560 on 11 March, 2020.[4]
