Galaxy in the constellation Virgo
NGC 4123 is a modest-sized,[ 10] strongly-barred spiral galaxy [ 7] located 75 millionlight-years [ 4] away in theequatorial constellation ofVirgo . It was discovered February 25, 1784 byWilliam Herschel .[ 5] This is a member of theVirgo Cluster , and it belongs to a group of three galaxies.[ 11] A companion galaxy,NGC 4116 , lies at anangular separation of 14′ to the southwest. There is no indication of aninteraction between the two galaxies.[ 7] The third member of the group isNGC 4179 .[ 11]
Hubble Space Telescope image of NGC 4123Themorphological classification of NGC 4123 is SBx(rs)ab, which indicates this is a spiral galaxy with a central X-shaped bar (SBx) encircled by an incomplete ring structure (rs) and moderate to tightly woundspiral arms (ab). The plane of the galaxy is inclined at an angle of 46.9° to the line of sight from the Earth. It lacks a large spheroidalbulge at the core, showing only a luminous point-like source.[ 10] Blue knots in the outer spiral arms indicate thatstar formation is ongoing.[ 7] The galaxy has a stellar mass of 1.95× 1010 M ☉ [ 6] with a star formation rate of 3.429± 3.281 M ☉ ·yr−1 .[ 12] The atomic gas in the galaxy has a mass of 1.06× 1010 M ☉ .[ 10]
Radio emission has been detected from an HII nucleus, which is consistent with it having a weakactive galactic nucleus .[ 13] If there is asupermassive black hole at the core, it has an estimated mass of 107 M ☉ .[ 14]
