NGC 5529 is an edge-on intermediate spiral galaxy[2] in the constellation Boötes. It is located approximately 144 million light-years (44 megaparsecs) away and was discovered by William Herschel on May 1, 1785.[3]

NGC 5529 is an edge-on intermediate galaxy. It is located near dwarf galaxies PGC 50952, and PGC 50925.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been detected in the mid-infrared spectrum of NGC 5529.[4] PAHs have been shown to only appear in galaxies with recent star formation.[5]
