NGC 5012 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Coma Berenices. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 2,883±19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 138.7 ± 9.8 Mly (42.52 ± 2.99 Mpc).[1] However, 17 non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 122.14 ± 4.22 Mly (37.447 ± 1.295 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 10 April 1785.[3][4]

NGC 5012 is a LINER galaxy, i.e. a galaxy whose nucleus has an emission spectrum characterized by broad lines of weakly ionized atoms.[5][6]

NGC 5012 group

NGC 5012 is the largest and brightest member of a trio of galaxies. The other two galaxies in the NGC 5012 group (also known as LGG 336) are NGC 5016 [fr] and NGC 5012A [de].[7][8]
