'''NGC 5929''' is a well-studied<ref name=Pecontal_et_al_1995/> [[Seyfert galaxy]] in the constellation [[Boötes]].<ref name=mnras240_487/><ref name=Whittle_et_al_1986/> It was discovered by English astronomer [[John Herschel]] on May 13, 1828.<ref name=cseligman/> In the revised ''[[New General Catalogue]]'' it is described as "elongated, brighter toward the middle, with a slightly diffuse halo". This galaxy is located at an estimated distance of {{convert|40.8|Mpc|e6ly|order=flip|abbr=off|lk=on}}.<ref name="MNRAS413_2_813"/> It forms an [[Interacting galaxy|interacting pair]]<ref name=Bower_et_al_1994/> with [[NGC 5930]] at an angular separation of {{val|0.5|ul=arcminute}}; together they form entry number 90 in [[Halton Arp]]'s 1966 ''[[Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies]]''.<ref name=Golev_et_al_1980/> A dust streak from NGC 5930 appears to lie in front of NGC 5929, suggesting that the former galaxy is the closer member of this pair.<ref name=Reshetnikov_Sazonova_1993/>

The [[Galaxy morphological classification|morphological classification]] of NGC 5929 is Sab,<ref name=Reshetnikov_Sazonova_1993/> indicating this is a [[spiral galaxy]] with tightly wound spiral arms. It has a Seyfert 2 nucleus with a bi-polar radio jet oriented along a [[position angle]] of ~60°.<ref name=Riffel_et_al_2015/> This galaxy is a [[Astronomical radio source|radio source]] having a double-lobe structure, with each lobe showing an emission region counterpart in the optical band.<ref name=Whittle_et_al_1986/><ref name=Keel_1985/> When observing the double-ionized oxygen line, each lobe is found to display a velocity component. The peaks of both the radio emission and velocity component are aligned.<ref name=Pecontal_et_al_1995/>
