NGC 4323 is a lenticular or dwarf elliptical galaxy [7] located about 52.5 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered in 1882 by astronomer Wilhelm Tempel [8] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster. [9]

NGC 4323 is commonly misidentified as NGC 4322, which is a 13th magnitude star. [10] [11]

Interaction with Messier 100

NGC 4323 is a companion of Messier 100, [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] which lies 78,000 light-years (24 kiloparsecs ) away. [13] [17] [21] The two galaxies appear to be interacting, [15] [19] [20] [22] as evidenced by Messier 100's rotation curve, an asymmetry of its HI disk, [19] [20] and a faint, optical bridge that connects it to NGC 4323. [14] [15] [16] [17] [20] [22] 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. [19]
