NGC 6045 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 450 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. NGC 6045 was discovered by astronomer Lewis Swift on June 27, 1886 and is a member of the Hercules Cluster. It is also a LINER galaxy.
Possible interaction
NGC 6045 is very luminous in both X-ray and infrared light. This high luminosity in both X-ray and infrared has been suggested to be the result of a starburst event in the galaxy. It is thought that starburst events are caused by interactions or mergers with other galaxies. Also, NGC 6045 has a warped disk which may be due to an interaction with the elliptical galaxy NGC 6047 which lies around ~320,000 ly (97 kpc) from the galaxy.
