NGC 1313 is a barred spiral galaxy of the Hubble type SB (s) d in the constellation Netz in the southern sky . It is an estimated 14 million light years away from the Milky Way , has a diameter of about 50,000 ly and is classified as a so-called starburst galaxy . What is striking is the irregular shape of the spiral arms , whose axis of rotation is also not exactly in the center. 16 arc minutes southeast of NGC 1313 there is another barred spiral galaxy (of the Hubble type SBb), which is called NGC 1313A (= PGC 12457, ESO 83-1). So far, two supernovae have been sighted in NGC 1313 , namely SN 1962M (Type II-P) and SN 1987K (Type IIb).
NGC 1313 was discovered on September 27, 1826 by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop .
