NGC 4323 explained

NGC 4323
Type:SB0^0(r), dE[1]
Z:0.006182
H Radial V:869 km/s
Mass:1.7[2]
Appmag V:15.1g
Names:PGC 40171, VCC 608, MCG +03-32-016

Size:~7kpc (estimated)[3]

NGC 4323 is a lenticular or dwarf elliptical galaxy[4] located about 52.5 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered in 1882 by astronomer Wilhelm Tempel[5] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[6]

NGC 4323 is commonly misidentified as NGC 4322, which is a 13th magnitude star.[7] [8]

Interaction with Messier 100

NGC 4323 is a companion of Messier 100,[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] which lies 24kpc away.[10] [14] [18] The two galaxies appear to be interacting,[12] [16] [17] [19] as evidenced by Messier 100's rotation curve, an asymmetry of its HI disk,[16] [17] and a faint, optical bridge that connects it to NGC 4323.[11] [12] [13] [14] [17] [19] However, Knapen et al. suggests that the two galaxies are not interacting as NGC 4323 is a small galaxy and has a large separation from Messier 100.[16]
