IC 5337 or JW100, is a spiral galaxy located 800 million light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation of Pegasus.12
It was discovered by French astronomer, Stephane Javelle on November 25, 18973 and is probably gravitationally bound to IC 5338, the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2626. According to SIMBAD, IC 5337 is considered an emission-line galaxy.4
IC 5337 is a jellyfish galaxy, mainly due to ram pressure.567 Star-forming gas are thrown about, as the galaxy penetrates through the thin gas layer and causing them to drip from the galaxy's disc, giving it its unique appearance of a cosmic jellyfish.5 It has a stellar mass of 3.2 × 1011 M☉8 and contains an active galactic nucleus likely trigged by accretion of matter into its supermassive black hole.9
In addition, IC 5337 also shows an X-ray source.10
