IC 4481 is a type SBbc [1] barred spiral galaxy located in Boötes. Its redshift is 0.110727, meaning IC 4481 is located 1.49 billion light-years away from Earth. [2] It is one of the furthest objects in the Index Catalogue [3] and has an apparent dimension of 0.30 x 0.2 arcmin. [4] [5] IC 4481 was discovered on May 10, 1904, by Royal Harwood Frost, who found it "faint, very small, round and diffuse". [6]
