NGC 1325 has a Hubble classification of SBbc, which indicates it is a barred spiral galaxy with moderately wound arms.[5] Its angular size on the night sky is 4.5' x 1.7'.[5] The disk of the galaxy is inclined at an angle of 71° with the main axis aligned along a position angle of 232°.[3] The rotation curve for the galaxy is flat across much of the radius from the core.[7] The galaxy is moving away from the Milky Way with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1,588 km/s.[2]
SN 1975S was discovered by Justus Dunlap and Yvonne Dunlap at Corralitos Observatory on 30 December 1975 .[8] Designated with a magnitude of 14.6,[9] it was positioned 53″ east and 77″ north of the galactic nucleus. The color of this supernova and the rapid decline of the lightcurve suggest it was a type II supernova.[10]
SN 2021yja (type II-P or typeIc, mag. 15.334) was discovered by ATLAS on September 8, 2021.[11] A core-collapse supernova,[12] it was initially categorized as a type II, but may instead be a type Ic.[13]
