NGC 4494 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is located at a distance of circa 45 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 4494 is about 60,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1785.

NGC 4494 is a Elliptical Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. NGC 4494 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 9.74, NGC 4494 is visible with the help of a binocular with a 80mm aperture or a small telescope.

NGC 4494 is a Elliptical Galaxy located in the constellation of Coma Berenices in the northern hemisphere. NGC 4494's distance from Earth is 44,481,206.79 light years. NGC 4494 is called NGC 4494 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

In this paper, we revisit the case of NGC 4494, a well-studied early-type galaxy in the Coma I group of galaxies, which is known to host a stellar kinematically decoupled core in the inner kiloparsec (Bender 1988).

2009年2月11日 · We present new Planetary Nebula Spectrograph observations of the ordinary elliptical galaxy NGC 4494, resulting in positions and velocities of 255 planetary nebulae out to seven effective radii (25 kpc). We also present new wide-field surface photometry from MMT/Megacam, and long-slit stellar kinematics from VLT/FORS2.

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 4494 (= GC 3043 = JH 1307 = WH I 83, 1860 RA 12 24 25, NPD 63 27.1) is "very bright, pretty large, round, very suddenly much brighter middle and nucleus". Physical Information : Apparent size 4.8 by 3.5 arcmin.

From Virginia Beach , NGC4494 is visible all night. It will become visible at around 20:16 (EDT), 22° above your eastern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 01:43, 78° above your southern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 06:03, 34° above your western horizon.

2013年3月11日 · NGC 4494 is one of several intermediate-luminosity elliptical galaxies inferred to have an unusually diffuse dark matter halo. We use the chi^2-made-to-measure particle code NMAGIC to construct axisymmetric models of NGC 4494 from …

2024年11月4日 · We aim to investigate the kinematics, structure, and stellar populations of the KDC residing in the early-type galaxy NGC 4494 to understand its formation. Methods. We used long-slit spectroscopic data obtained with the FORS2 instrument on the VLT to measure the stellar kinematics and stellar populations.
