UGC 6614 is a giant low surface brightness spiral galaxy located about 300 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. It has an estimated diameter of 97,110 light-years.[2] 29.9
Physical Characteristics
editUGC 6614 has a ringlike feature around the bulge ( Fig. 1) that is prominent even in H (McGaugh et al. 1995). It has per- haps the highest metallicity known for an LSB galaxy and is es- timated as log (O/H) 1⁄4 3 to 2.84, which is close to solar in value ( McGaugh 1994). Its nucleus shows AGN activity at optical wavelengths (Schombert 1998) and appears as a bright core in X-ray emission (XMM-Newton archival data).
