NGC 4388 is an active spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It was discovered April 17, 1784 by William Herschel. [6] This galaxy is located at a distance of 57 million light years [3] and is receding with a radial velocity of 2,524km/s. [2] It is one of the brightest galaxies of the Virgo Cluster due to its luminous nucleus.

NGC 4388 has a bright energetic nucleus and so is classified as an active galaxy. The spiral, relatively close by at 60 million light years, is a member of the nearest major cluster of galaxies: the Virgo Cluster. One hypothesis holds that the gas was stripped away as NGC 4388 made its way through the intergalactic medium of the Virgo Cluster.

2001年3月24日 · Among spiral galaxies, NGC 4388 is classified as an active galaxy that emits huge amounts of energy from its active galactic nucleus. It was already known that ionized hydrogen gas clouds are being emitted from the core of …

2016年12月5日 · NGC 4388 is a highly inclined spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo at a distance of 59 million light-years. It was discovered on April 17, 1784 by British astronomer Sir Wilhelm Herschel. Also known as LEDA 40581 and IRAS 12232+1256, NGC 4388 is one of the brightest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, a group of more than 2,000 galaxies.

NGC 4388 is a Seyfert 2 Galaxy located in the constellation of Virgo in the equatorial region. NGC 4388's distance from Earth is 63,466,769.54 light years. NGC 4388 is called NGC 4388 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

NGC 4388 is an active spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It was discovered April 17, 1784 by Wilhelm Herschel. This galaxy is located at a distance of 57 million light years and is receding with a radial velocity of 2,524km/s. It is one of the brightest galaxies of the Virgo Cluster due to its luminous nucleus.

The galaxy NGC 4388 belongs to the Hubble class SA (s)b. The classification is uncertain because the galaxy is seen almost edge-on. Its disk is inclined by 82° with respect to the sky plane. This galaxy has a distance median value of 19.2 Mpc. A bright radio jet emerges from the nucleus, but is not resolved in the images shown below.

2020年12月9日 · We present Chandra imaging and spectral observations of Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 4388. Three extended X-ray structures around the nucleus on kpc scale are well imaged, allowing an in-depth spatially resolved study.

2012年3月14日 · NGC 4388. The supermassive black holes in the hearts of many galaxies form what are known as active galactic nuclei (AGN). The accretion disks around these black holes are especially hot and bright, so they produce copious amounts of energy at many different wavelengths. Some AGN, however, are muffled.

1982年5月31日 · Direct photographic data and preliminary spectroscopy of the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 are presented. The galaxy appears to be a barred spiral of morphological class SB (s)b pec and is almost...
