[4] The kinematic axis of the molecular gas of the galaxy isn't aligned with the stellar one, indicating it is of external origin.

[5] The nucleus of the galaxy has been found to be active and it is categorised as a type 2 LINER.

[6] The most accepted theory for the energy source of active galactic nuclei is the presence of an accretion disk around a supermassive black hole.

The supermassive black hole in the nucleus of NGC 5953 is estimated to have a mass of 2.7×108 M☉ based on stellar velocity dispersion.

[7] A one-sided jet measuring about half parsec in length is visible in radiowaves.
