NGC 5910

NGC 5910 is an elliptical galaxy  located about 540 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. It was discovered by astronomer William Hershel on April 13, 1785. NGC 5910 is also a strong radio source with a conspicuous nuclear jet.

Physical characteristics
NGC 5910 appears to have a double nucleus, with a faint nuclear dust lane also being observed.

A pair of asymmetries in the isotopotal profile of NGC 5910 with one of them being brighter than the other, weaker asymmetry suggests a past merger and collision of one or more galaxies.

Group membership
NGC 5910 is the brightest and dominant member of a compact group of galaxies known as Hickson Compact Group 74. The group consists of 5 members in total, with a velocity dispersion of 537 km/s and a diameter of 80 kpc. The other members are 2MASX J15193179+2053005, PGC 54692, PGC 54694, and MCG+04-36-036. The other galaxies appear to be embedded within a common envelope that belongs to NGC 5910.

NGC 5910 appears to lie near the Hercules Superclusters.
