IC 883 (also known as Arp 193, IRAS 13183+3423, PGC 46560 and UGC 8387) is an irregular galaxy that is about 321 million light years away from Earth.

[2][4][5] IC 883 is classified a luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG).

[6][7] It is a recent merger given that the galaxy has one single nucleus and two tidal tails.

[8] It is known to show a radio jet originating from its nucleus travelling at a subluminal motion of 0.6-1 c.[9] Two supernovae have been observed in IC 883: SN 2010cu (type II, mag.

[11] When observed in near-infrared or optical wavelengths, they are the nearest supernovae found to the nucleus of an LIRG.
