UGC 6614

UGC 6614 is a giant spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Leo.

[3][4][5] The galaxy is nearly face-on and has a ring-like feature around its bulge,[6] with distinctive extended spiral arms.

[7] The bulge of UGC 6614 is found to be red, similar to those of S0 and other elliptical galaxies, hinting at the existence of an old star population.

[11] Its nucleus shows AGN activity at optical wavelengths[12] and appears as a bright core in X-ray emission, according to XMM-Newton archival data.

[13] AT 2020ojw, an astronomical transient, was discovered in UGC 6614 in July 2020 by ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System).
