UGC 8313 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is a member of the M51 Group of galaxies and measures about 6 kiloparsecs (19,000 light-years) in diameter and has a mass of about 1×107M☉. UGC 8313 is most likely a companion of the Sunflower Galaxy and gravitational interactions between the two may be responsible for the warps and asymmetries that have been observed in the latter galaxy.
