Normally they are Illumina TruSeq adapters.
If you don't know it, use fastp to detect the adapters automatically.
See https://github.com/OpenGene/fastp#adapters for details.
Remind to enable --detect_adapter_for_pe option if your nextseq 500 data is paired-end.

That is the machine and does not tell you anything. Ask the people who made the data. Maybe one can make a best guess: What kind of data? RNA-seq, ChIP-seq? Try to run
fastqcto check if there are adapter contaminations.fastqcrecognizes most common adapters.
