NGC 5128, identified with the radio source Centaurus A by Bolton et al. (1949), is a remarkable galaxy which appears to consist of an elliptical or SO galaxy crossed by a strong dust lane. The early idea that this represented a pair of colliding galaxies (Baade and Minkowski 1954) powering the extended double radio source fell out of favour but has recently been revived (Malin et al. 1983) in the light of extensive kinematic evidence. However, the interpretation of the data is not yet complete, and it has also been suggested recently that NGC 5128 is really a spiral galaxy with a spectacularly large bulge (Marcelin et al. 1982).
