NGC 5322 (UGC 8745, 1347+6026) -- This is an E4 elliptical galaxy with a weak LINER nucleus (Ho et al. 1996a). The UV image shows weak, diffuse, centrally-concentrated structure that is elongated in the east-west direction, like the galaxy's major axis in optical images. A pre-COSTAR HST $V$-band image of the galaxy (Lauer et al. 1995) shows similar structure, and also a thin dust lane crossing the nucleus. There is a hint of this dust lane, also in the east-west direction, in the UV image. |
