NGC 2460 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. It was discovered by German astronomer Wilhelm Tempel on August 11, 1882.[3]
It is also identified as an active nucleus galaxy. Its redshift of 0.004837 gives a distance of 22 megaparsecs, or approximately 70 million light-years.[1]
NGC 2460 has an absolute magnitude of -21.0, and an apparent magnitude of 11.46.[1] Several arms extend for long distances from the central galaxy, perhaps as a result of an interaction with nearby galaxy PGC 213434.[3] The galaxy has a radial velocity of 1446 km/s.[2]
