NGC 6810

NGC 6810 is a spiral galaxy approximately 87 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Pavo.

[4] Recent X-ray observations provide no evidence of any active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity,[4] and high resolution optical spectra do not confirm the status of NGC 6810 as a Seyfert galaxy, thus it appears to have been misclassified.

[4] X-ray, optical, IR and radio properties of NGC 6810 are all consistent with a starburst galaxy.

[4] This, along with Hα filamentation and peculiar minor axis ionized gas kinematics, strongly suggest that NGC 6810 is host to a galactic-scale superwind[4] which is streaming from the starburst region.

Most superwinds in other galaxies appear to arise in ≲ 1 kpc-scale nuclear starburst regions.
