Galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices
NGC 4298 is aflocculent [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] spiral galaxy located about 53 millionlight-years away[ 7] Coma Berenices . The galaxy was discovered by astronomerWilliam Herschel on April 8, 1784[ 8] Virgo Cluster .[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
NGC 4298 may harbor anintermediate-mass black hole with an estimated mass ranging from 20,000 (× 104 M☉ ) to 500,000 (× 105 M☉ )solar masses .[ 12]
Interaction with NGC 4302 [ edit ] NGC 4298 appears to form a pair with[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] interact withNGC 4302 .[ 13] [ 2] [ 14] [ 16] [ 15] [ 17] [ 18] [ 4] [ 4] [ 16] [ 15] NGC 4302 ,[ 18] [ 17] [ 2] star formation [ 19] ram pressure .[ 3]
The two galaxies are separated from a projected distance of ~36,000 ly (11 kpc ).[ 20] [ 15] [ 3]
Ram-pressure stripping [ edit ] The presence of a truncated gas disc,[ 3] [ 4] [ 13] [ 3] ram pressure stripped gas inNGC 4302 suggest that NGC 4298 is undergoingram pressure .[ 2]
