NGC 2782

NGC 2782 has an active galactic nucleus and it is a starburst and a type 1 Seyfert galaxy.

[2] The active galactic nucleus is hidden by a compact high-column-density absorber and a H2O maser is associated with it.

[3] The vigorous star formation creates an unusual "superwind" of out-flowing gas, which has been detected in X-rays as a bubble like structure, approximately 7 arcsec south of the central region of the galaxy.

[4] NGC 2782 shows two tidal tails, extending in opposite directions.
