NGC 6384 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy located about 77 million light-years away in the northern part of the constellation Ophiuchus. It was discovered on 10 June 1863 by German-British astronomer Albert Marth.[5]

NGC 6384 has a morphological classification of SAB(r)bc,[4] indicating that it is a weakly barred galaxy (SAB) with an inner ring structure (r) orbiting the bar, and moderate to loosely wound spiral arms (bc).[6] The galaxy is inclined by an angle of 47° to the line of sight, along a position angle of 40°.[7] The estimated mass of the stars in this galaxy is 105 billion times the mass of the Sun.[4]

At one time NGC 6384 was considered a normal galaxy with no activity in the nucleus. However, it is now classified as a transition object (T2), which is thought to be a LINER-type galaxy whose emission-line spectra is contaminated by H II regions in the nucleus.[8]

Supernovae

Three supernovae have been observed in NGC 6384:

  • SN 1971L (type Ia, mag. 12.8) was discovered by Logan on 24 June 1971, located 27″ east and 20″ north of the nucleus.[9] It reached a peak visual magnitude of 12.85 around the end of June.[10] It was situated along a spiral arm, suggesting that the progenitor was not a member of the older, more evolved stellar population of the galaxy.[7]
  • SN 2017drh (type Ia, mag. 17.9) was discovered by the DLT40 survey on 3 May 2017.[11]
  • SN 2024pxl (type Iax[02cx-like], mag. 17.7) was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility on 23 July 2024.[12]
