3C 305 , also known as
IC 1065 , is a
lenticular galaxy located in the
constellation Draco . The galaxy is located 577 million
light-years away from
Earth . It has an
active galactic nucleus and is classified as a
Seyfert 2 galaxy . This galaxy was discovered by American astronomer
Lewis Swift when he came upon it on April 7th, 1888.
3C 305 is also a radio galaxy . It shows an extended X-ray halo previously detected by Chandra X-ray and Very Large Array observations and hydrogen outflow with a jet power of ∼10 erg s.
In additional, 3C 305 shows broad HI absorption levels, which researchers interpreted it as jet-cloud interaction. There are also signs that 3C 305 might be involved in a recent merger process with another gas-rich galaxy.
One supernova has been observed in the galaxy so far: SN 2003jb, (type Ia , mag. 16.5), discovered in December 2003.
