NGC 4328 is a nucleated dwarf elliptical [6] [4] [7] or lenticular galaxy [8] [9] located about 48 million light-years away based on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope using the TRGB distance indicator. [2] NGC 4328 was discovered on March 21, 1784 by astronomer William Herschel [10] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster [3] [11] in the "A'' subgroup. [3] On the sky, NGC 4328 is located in the constellation Coma Berenices. [10]

NGC 4328 is a companion of Messier 100, along with NGC 4323 and lies 78,000 light-years (24 kiloparsecs ) from Messier 100. [12] [13] A possible passage of NGC 4328 close to Messier 100, may explain the lopsidedness in the southwestern portion of Messier 100. However, there are no strong signs of interactions in the H I distribution of Messier 100 which may be due to an interaction between the two galaxies. Despite this, rescent observations are too shallow to detect tidal streams in the H I distribution of Messier 100 caused by a possible interaction between the two galaxies. [14]

NGC 4328 is host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 6.1×106 solar masses. [15]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Local Group</span> Group of galaxies that includes the Milky Way

The Local Group is the galaxy group that includes the Milky Way, where Earth is located. It has a total diameter of roughly 3 megaparsecs (10 million light-years; 9×1019 kilometres), and a total mass of the order of 2×1012 solar masses (4×1042 kg). It consists of two collections of galaxies in a "dumbbell" shape; the Milky Way and its satellites form one lobe, and the Andromeda Galaxy and its satellites constitute the other. The two collections are separated by about 800 kiloparsecs (3×10^6 ly; 2×1019 km) and are moving toward one another with a velocity of 123 km/s. The group itself is a part of the larger Virgo Supercluster, which may be a part of the Laniakea Supercluster. The exact number of galaxies in the Local Group is unknown as some are occluded by the Milky Way; however, at least 80 members are known, most of which are dwarf galaxies.

Messier 60 or M60, also known as NGC 4649, is an elliptical galaxy approximately 57 million light-years away in the equatorial constellation of Virgo.

Messier 60 and nearby elliptical galaxy Messier 59 were discovered by Johann Gottfried Koehler in April 1779, observing a comet in the same part of the sky. Charles Messier added both to his catalogue about three days after this.
