NGC 4065 is an elliptical galaxy located 300 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Coma Berenices. [3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785. It was then rediscovered by John Herschel on April 29, 1832 and was listed as NGC 4057. [4] NGC 4065 is the brightest [5] [6] [7] [8] member of the NGC 4065 Group. [5] [9] [10] [6] [11] [12] [13] [7] [14] [15]

Contents

NGC 4065 is a companion of NGC 4061. [10] [16] The two galaxies form an interacting [16] [6] pair, as evidenced by distortions in their optical isophotes. [6] [11]

It is classified as a radio galaxy. [11] [6]
