NGC 4313 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 50 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784. [3] NGC 4313 is a member of the Virgo Cluster [4] [5] and is classified as LINER [2] [6] and as a Seyfert galaxy. [6]
NGC 4313 has undergone ram-pressure stripping in the past. [7]
NGC 4313 may harbor an intermediate-mass black hole with an estimated mass of 200,000 (2*10^5) solar masses. [8]
