NGC 5607 or Mrk 286 (also Mkn 286 ) is a starburst galaxy in the constellation Ursa Minor, around 346 million light years away .

The object is considered a candidate to merge a spiral galaxy with an elliptical galaxy. Mapping of the atomic gas in the galaxy with the aid of interferometric observations HI resulted in this wavelength range, a star formation rate of 40  M / a , and brought about a 200 KPC long streamers to light.

The object was discovered on March 16, 1785 by William Herschel (listed as NGC 5607) and on June 7, 1888 by Lewis Swift (listed as IC 1005).
