NGC 4411 (also known asNGC 4411A) is abarred spiral galaxy in theconstellation ofVirgo. Its velocity with respect to thecosmic microwave background is1,616±24 km/s, which corresponds to aHubble distance of 77.7 ± 5.5 Mly (23.83 ± 1.70 Mpc).[1] However, fivenon-redshift measurements give a closer distance of 51.66 ± 4.59 Mly (15.840 ± 1.408 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German–American astronomerChristian Heinrich Friedrich Peters in 1881.[3] It was also observed by German astronomerFriedrich Karl Arnold Schwassmann on 23 January 1900, resulting in it being listed in theIndex Catalogue asIC 3339.[3] There was a longstanding confusion of identification between this galaxy and the neighboring spiral galaxyNGC 4411B.[3]
NGC 4411 and NGC 4411B form apair of galaxies, referred to asKPG 336.[4] Both galaxies are members of theVirgo Cluster.
