Galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices
NGC 4323 is alenticular ordwarf elliptical galaxy [ 7] located about 52.5 millionlight-years away in theconstellation Coma Berenices . The galaxy was discovered in 1882 by astronomerWilhelm Tempel [ 8] and is a member of theVirgo Cluster .[ 9]
NGC 4323 is commonly misidentified asNGC 4322 , which is a 13th magnitudestar .[ 10] [ 11]
Interaction with Messier 100 [ edit ] NGC 4323 is a companion ofMessier 100 ,[ 12] [ 13] [ 14] [ 15] [ 16] [ 17] [ 18] [ 19] [ 20] [ 21] [ 22] which lies 78,000 light-years (24kiloparsecs ) away.[ 13] [ 17] [ 21] The two galaxies appear to beinteracting ,[ 15] [ 19] [ 20] [ 22] as evidenced by Messier 100's rotation curve, an asymmetry of itsHI 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]
