Description

NGC 1433 is a barred spiral galaxy with a double ring structure located in the constellation of Horologium, at a distance of 46 million light-years from Earth. 
It is a Seyfert galaxy with an active galactic nucleus. The central region of the galaxy displays intense star formation activity, with an irregular star-forming ring and weak radio wave emission. Star formation is also noticeable in the spiral arms but not the bar of the galaxy. 
A jet of material flowing away from the central black hole of the galaxy extending for only 150 light-years has been found.
