NGC 5634


NGC 5634 is a globular cluster in the constellation Virgo, located about 82,000 light years from Earth. NGC 5634 has an apparent magnitude of about 10 and a diameter of 4 or 5 arcminutes. Its Shapley–Sawyer Concentration Class is IV, meaning the cluster shows intermediate rich concentrations. The star near the upper right is the eleventh-magnitude UCAC2 29844847. There is also a bright orange giant, HD 127119, about 1.3 arcminutes away from the cluster.
The origin of NGC 5634 is somewhat unclear; it was once thought to be a likely member of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, but it may be associated with Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus or the Helmi stream instead.
