NGC 6984 is a barred spiral galaxy located 180 million light years away in the constellation Indus. It is a Type II Seyfert galaxy , a type of Active galactic nucleus (AGN). [ 4 ] It is situated south of the celestial equator, and is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250 mm) or more. [ 3 ]
The stellar classification of Rho Indi is G1 V Fe+0.3, [3] which indicates it is a G-type main-sequence star with a mild overabundance of iron in its outer atmosphere. However, Houk and Cowley (1975) classified it as G2.5 IV, [8] suggesting it is instead a somewhat more evolved subgiant star.
