Dwarf spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices
NGC 4310 is adwarf spiral galaxy with a dust lane[ 3] and ring structure[ 4] located about 54 millionlight-years away[ 5] in the constellationComa Berenices . It was discovered by astronomerWilliam Herschel on April 11, 1785. It was rediscovered by astronomerHeinrich d'Arrest on May 19, 1863, and was later listed as NGC 4338.[ 6] The galaxy is host to asupermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 107 solar masses .[ 7]
NGC 4310 is a member of theComa I group [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] and is located in a subgroup surrounding the galaxyNGC 4274 .[ 11] [ 12] [ 13] The two galaxies, NGC 4310 and NGC 4274 form a pair and are separated by a projected distance of around 500,000 ly (154 kpc ).[ 13]
