NGC 4076 is a spiral galaxy located 290 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785[4] and is a member of the NGC 4065 Group.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

NGC 4076 is classified as a LINER galaxy.[13] [14]

NGC 4076 has been host to two type Ia supernovae.[15] [16] The first, SN 2007M was first observed on December 24, 2006.[17] [18] However, it was discovered on January 14, 2007.[19] [20] The second, SN 2011bc was discovered on April 1, 2011.[21] [22] [23]
