NGC 4473 is an elliptical galaxy [2] located about 50 million light-years away [3] in the constellation of Coma Berenices. [4] It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784. [5] NGC 4473 has an inclination of about 71 °.[6]

NGC 4473 is a Elliptical Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. NGC 4473 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

2017年8月8日 · NGC 4473 is an elliptical galaxy with an apparent magnitude of 11.16, located at a distance of 50 million light years in Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered by William Herschel on the same night as the nearby NGC 4477.

2009年11月19日 · Astronomers discovered a likely supermassive black hole in the core of NGC 4473 as part of a survey of possible host galaxies with Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 4473 is classified as an elliptical galaxy, although it is slightly flattened into a disk-like shape.

NGC 4473 is an elliptical galaxy located about 50 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784. NGC 4473 has an inclination of about 71 °. NGC 4473 is a member of a chain of galaxies called Markarian's Chain which is part of the larger Virgo Cluster of galaxies.

NGC 4473 is a so-called double sigma (2σ) galaxy, i.e. a galaxy with rare, double peaks in its 2D stellar velocity dispersion. Here, we present the globular cluster (GC) kinematics in NGC 4473 out to ∼10R e (effective radii) using data from combined Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys and Subaru/Suprime-Cam imaging and Keck ...

2013年8月16日 · Here we study the Fast Rotator elliptical galaxy: NGC 4473. Using slitlets, we obtain galaxy light kinematics out to unprecedentedly large galactocentric radii (2.5 effective radii).

This object is an elliptical galaxy located 50 million light years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices at a declination of +13 degrees. This 10.2 magnitude galaxy with a surface brightness of 12.4 spans 5 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to an actual diameter of 80,000 light years.

Combination of 5, 3 minute images unfiltered. SBIG STL-1001E CCD. 20" f/6.8 Dall-Kirkham cassegrain telescope at prime focus. NGC 4473 and NGC 4477 are a pair of moderately large and bright galaxies visible in same field. Both galaxies appear elongated in the telescope. They are located in Coma Berenices

2024年12月15日 · Early-type galaxies with two symmetric peaks in their velocity dispersion maps are dubbed double-sigma galaxies. One prototypical case is the NGC 4473 galaxy which is studied in this contribution...
